Rebuilding lives after brain injury: the role of the Court of Protection
Jemma Garside
The Court of Appeal has today released its judgment in the case of Re S (Children: Parentage and Jurisdiction) [2023] EWCA Civ 897, which was heard earlier this year.
Les couples français vivant en Angleterre sont souvent surpris d'apprendre que le régime matrimonial français qu'ils ont choisi lors de la signature de leur contrat de mariage français pourrait ne pas être appliqué par les juges anglais s'ils divorcent en Angleterre.
French couples living in England are often taken aback to learn that the French matrimonial regime they chose when they signed their French marriage contract might not be applied by English judges if they divorce in England.
Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989 allows the family court to make financial provision for children. It is most often used in cases where the parents have not been married and have no right to financial support for themselves under the 1973 Matrimonial Causes Act.
In recent years there have been calls for a change in the law to protect vulnerable adults from falling victim to what has become known as “predatory marriage”. This is due to a rise in cases where fraudsters have married vulnerable and often elderly individuals, without the knowledge of their loved ones.
