Ancillary Relief Handbook

The Ancillary Relief Handbook has established itself as as first resort for thousands of matrimonial lawyers. By combining a clear explanation of the legal principles with straightforward advice on practice and procedure, Roger Bird has produced the essential reference work for the busy family lawyer. This new edition has been thoroughly revised. It takes account of recent case law and provides analysis of all the important developments. There is a new chapter, written in the light of the judgment in McFarlane and Parlour, devoted to the question of the extent to which equality should apply to periodical payments, as opposed to capital. Additionally, there is an examination of the proposed new costs and appeals regime and a consideration of the implications for family lawyers. The extensive text is supplemented by appendices containing key precedents and legislation.
