Elizabeth Darlington MCIArb has co-written an article with Graeme Fraser (William Sturges LLP) and Susie Mountain (Brodies Solicitors) for the Financial Remedies Journal examining the presently evolving landscape of cohabitation law reform. The piece considers the contrasting legal frameworks in England and Scotland, offering insight into how each jurisdiction currently addresses the rights of cohabitants and the challenges that continue to arise in practice.

This article outlines the current relief available for cohabitants in the English and Scottish jurisdictions, the likely direction of travel for legislative reform and what we are likely to be left with. Will the Berwick man have greater clarity, or be even more confused?
