‘Professional advisers need to tread very carefully when a client wants to pursue an aggressive strategy to frustrate a spouse’s financial claims during divorce proceedings. Aggressive asset protection might well achieve a client’s financial objectives – at least in the short term.

‘In a recent article Jane Robey makes a serious point about judicial referral of parties to mediation; but she does so by criticising the judgment of Peter Jackson J (now Peter Jackson LJ) and his letter to ‘Sam’. There are lots of things wrong with the family justice system; and take up of mediation is disappointing.

‘Introduced by the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the statutory adjudication scheme is a well-established dispute resolution mechanism within the UK construction industry.

Although an adjudication award is binding, it is not final. However, in practice an adjudication award is often the final resolution of a dispute.’
