The book offers detailed coverage of the area, including: a thorough guide to the legislation; discussion of the problems faced by practitioners when dealing with cases; explanation of the procedure involved; practical advice on assessing quantum claims; and guidance on the tax implications of orders and compromises. The authors examine each class of applicant, including the new category for civil partners and, drawing on their own experience, they discuss the criteria that the court will apply.
