September 25, 2024 Barder events
In an all-host affair, Tara Lyons hosts Mark Ablett to discuss his new book about Barder events in financial remedy proceedings. Mark discusses his view on the definitive test for a Barder application, having considered 35 years of case law in writing his book. The pod in particular discusses foreseeability and the seemingly variable standard applied in the case law, depending on what the Barder event is. A worthwhile listen for any financial remedies practitioner and for anyone who wishes to know more, Mark's book is available on Amazon now.

August 28, 2024 Standish
Maria Henty of Pump Court joins host Mark Ablett to talk all things Standish following the Court of Appeal's decision early this year. The podcast discusses the concept of matrimonialisation as well as a reality check in terms of how often these arguments will generally be relevant in the run of the mill cases. Maria and Mark give insight as to how they have seen the decision in Standish play out in their own practices, as well as commenting on HHJ Hess' decision of RM v WP, which endorsed Standish in particular in relation to the family home.

July 05, 2024 NCDR and the new FPR rules
Host Mark Ablett is joined by Annie Ward and Rebekah Batt of Pump Court to consider the latest rule changes to encourage NCDR in the Family Court. Annie and Rebekah bring different perspectives, Annie being an arbitrator, Rebekah being at the coalface with cases that ought to explore NCDR but frequently do not due to (misplaced?) costs concerns. The podcast considers how the new rules have applied so far, what further changes might be made and the different forms of NCDR available. Recent cases, e.g. NA v LA [2024] EWFC 113, have made clear that issues such as non-disclosure will not make a case in and of itself unsuitable for NCDR and practitioners need to be aware of Form FM5 and the court's ability to adjourn proceedings for NCDR.

January 18, 2024 Cohabitation Law Reform
Host Mark Ablett is joined by Graeme Fraser (BBS Law) and Victoria Clarke (Elite Law) to discuss Resolutions Vision for Family Justice, in particular those elements affecting cohabiting couples. Both Graeme and Victoria sit on the Resolution Cohabitation Committee and it will quickly become apparent to listeners what they think of the current state of the law. The pod discusses the need for wholesale change as well as the current deficiencies and frank unfairness in an increasingly out of date Schedule 1 as well as whether child maintenance should be returned to the Family Court's jurisdiction. This is undoubtedly an area of law crying out for change and the podcast was privileged to host two of those at the forefront of this change.

Join Jennifer Lee of Pump Court and star guest, Professor David Hodson OBE, KC (Hons) MCIArb, joint co-founder and senior partner at The International Family Law Group, for a thought-provoking podcast on the Law Commission's review of the laws which determine financial provision on divorce or the ending of a civil partnership.
