The impact of recent ancillary relief jurisprudence in the 'everyday' ancillary relief case [2010] CFLQ 93

Given that the bulk of recent ancillary relief jurisprudence and associated discussion has been focused on the 'big-money' case law, this article presents findings from a qualitative study which considers family solicitors' responses to the impact of recent big money case law on the 'run of the mill' case. It examines not only how practitioners negotiate key concepts such as 'fairness', but additional issues including the use of pension-sharing orders and prenuptial agreements in the everyday case.
