Dictionary of Financial Remedies (2020 Edition)
Authors: HHJ Edward Hess, Peter Duckworth, Sally Max & Amy Kisser.
The Dictionary of Financial Remedies is a unique reference guide to the key concepts, cases and practice of financial remedies.
An ideal quick reference for when you are in court, conference or mediation and written in a style that will appeal to family lawyers, mediators and other non-lawyers involved in financial remedy proceedings.
Presented in an easy to use A-Z format, with cross-references where required, each entry acts like a practice note on the topic setting out the essential law, key cases and practice points you need to be able to advise on the issue with the minimum of fuss. The book distils the combined experience of the Editors whose aim is to provide a concise, practical handbook that focuses on the most important issues and practice points, covering everything from agreements to variation of settlements.
This 2020 edition is fully updated to include changes and developments from the last twelve months, including Court of Appeal decisions in Brack v Brack, Martin v Martin and XW v XH. The entry on Judgment Summons has been extended to include committal applications and there are new entries on Financial Remedies Courts and Standard Family Orders.
"Its mere 120 pages are crammed with a bang up-to-date cornucopia of not only the substantive law but also a wealth of procedural advice. In addition, key numerical, fiscal and actuarial aspects are addressed. I found the sections on Schedule 1, Matrimonial and Non-Matrimonial Property, Spousal Maintenance, and Injunctions especially informative and well-written."
