Lord Justice Thorpe: Statutory Arbitration in Ancillary Relief

Date:21 DEC 2007

The Rt Hon Lord Justice Thorpe, Head of International Family Justice, UK

The object of this article is to enlarge the current debate amongst lawyers and perhaps even politicians on the reform of our ancillary relief laws.
