Terrific summary of BI v EN [2024] EWFC 200 (Fam) by @cullis_sophie here https://t.co/kjnHG0rsjr. 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.

[Dawson Cornwell @Dawson_Cornwell]

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

I am honoured to have been asked to speak at this event at my old school on the legal sector.

Please do consider voting for @LoizouLucy for election to Resolution’s National Committee. As founding member of National YRes and buckets of experience keeping us all in check at iFLG I know she’ll make an enormous positive contribution if elected.

[Tristan Harvey @TrisHarveyQEB]

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

[Advocates for Animals | Solicitors @Animallawyersuk]

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 https://t.co/bYKM5S4O5N

[Joe Rainer @JoeRainer_]

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.

** Calling family law pupillage applicants **

Join us for a live mock interview and Q&A for an insight into the interview process and tips for success. Excited to be part of this event alongside such brilliant colleagues. Do share with your networks- all welcome! @WiFLaw

[Alexandra Hampton @AlexandrHampton]

If you’re preparing for pupillage interviews this year do come along - if only to watch me back in the hot seat after 5 years and being reminded myself that interviews can be daunting!

[Samuel March @Sam_Oscar_March]

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.

[Family Law News @familylaw]

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. https://t.co/FbUKLAqx7H

[Joe Rainer @JoeRainer_]

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.

QEB are proud to offer a mini pupillage as a prize in this excellent competition
