Terrific summary of BI v EN [2024] EWFC 200 (Fam) by @cullis_sophie here tinyurl.com/4wh2zrkj. Decision of Cusworth J re extent to which outcome of W’s application for FR should be impacted by the ‘Contrat de Mariage’ (the elected séparation de biens property regime). (1/2)
Delighted to have worked with the one and only Anna Shadbolt in this pro-bono case.
Partner Anna Shadbolt, instructing Fiona Stewart of Queen Elizabeth Building, recently acted pro bono for the respondent in JL v NN, a case which highlights the difficulties in predicting ultimate outcomes in modest asset cases in the courts.

Interesting case in which I appeared led by @Stewartqeb , against Tim Bishop of @OneHareCourt and Jeni Kavanagh of @1GCFamilyLaw . Compensation principle engaged and reflected in a way not previously seen in case law: to bring pre-acquired wealth within ambit of sharing principle
AT v BT [2023] EWHC 3531 (Fam) (06 November 2023):
Financial remedies application, issues including whether trust assets were matrimonial, & whether W's claim should be settled on a sharing or needs basis. W awarded c. £6.9m, out of net assets of £13.7m. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam…

On Monday next week significant amendments to the FPR come into effect. 29 April 2024 could be a landmark moment for NCDR. No longer to be seen as an ‘alternative’ to litigation, but the first, and for many only, port of call. #NCDR #mediation #arbitration #evaluation

This case concerned a dog under the care of a mentally and physically disabled human. It clarified the approach to deciding whether a dog should be destroyed following their human companion’s conviction under s.3(1) of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Read rb.gy/prq2dj

Spring 24 edition online now. Loads of good stuff in here, but everyone should probably read @DuncanBrooks1 piece. The fact that instructive material of this quality is free online sans paywall is cool.
Here is the Spring 24 edition of FRJ, now available for free download.
It’s jam packed with useful articles and commentary.
Thanks so much to brilliant contributors, Ed Board & @ClassLegalUK who continue to kindly underwrite the journal and website.

Animal protection can get very academic when it’s all case papers, legal textbooks and codes of practice.
Nice to spend a day getting hands on - volunteering with mucking out the pig pens and feeding the animals - at FRIEND farm animal sanctuary in Kent.
A new judgment from Sir Jonathan Cohen on funding maintenance out of debt.
TK v AC (Re Matrimonial Causes Act 1973) [2023] EWHC 2958 (Fam) (10 November 2023):
Appeal by H from order requiring him to pay maintenance and a legal services order to W, on the grounds that he had no assets and no income and was very heavily indebted. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam…

With his signature concision and thoroughness, @michael_allum has turned round this excellent primer/summary on Potanin in less than half a day - the proceedings below, the ratio of the UKSC majority judgment, and its likely impact going forward.
With the kind of efficiency seen by Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Central at the last General Election count, @michael_allum declares his take on the Supreme Court decision of Potanin today. financialremediesjournal.com…
