Lets talk: legal positions for cohabitants
In this episode of ‘Let’s Talk’, Hannah Minty, partner in the family team at Russell-Cooke speaks to Sally Nash, a family lawyer and partner at Gilson Gray.
Hannah and Sally discuss the legal position of cohabitants on the breakdown of a relationship in Scotland. They cover:
* The need for reform in England and Wales and the renewed calls for a framework of basic protections for cohabiting couples now that progress has been made in other areas of family law like ‘no fault’ divorce;
* The legal framework in Scotland and the provision available to separated couples who have cohabited under the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006;
* How the Scottish provisions work on a practical basis;
* The call for reform in Scotland and how this might shape the legal protection offered there

Let’s talk: Dealing with inherited property overseas on behalf of a child (episode 2)
In this follow up podcast (listen to part 1), Hannah Minty and Gareth Ledsham re-examine the cross-over between succession law and family law in dealing with issues that arise when a child habitually resident in England and Wales becomes the legal owner of property abroad. They look at the recent case in which Gareth was instructed of Re BC (A Child), where a Specific Issue Order was secured under the Children Act 1989 and consider the useful guidance provided by Mr Justice Peel on the procedure to be followed in these hybrid applications.
