Trusts in Financial Remedy Proceedings
When studying for my A level in English literature I never quite worked out who Myrtle Brown was, nor whether Laurel was her sister or Ivy Neversere a friend of theirs. In History I studied the period when Milton was writing but I never found their names mentioned in the history books either.

Betting the Farm
In an area of law that has many dedicated sub-genres, few are perceived as being as abstruse and esoteric as the idea of the ‘farming case’.

Standardising Financial Disclosure for Out-of-Court Resolution: Can We Trust the D81?
The principal forms we use for capturing financial data were drafted by different groups of people, at different times and with different purposes: and it shows. As technology and non-court dispute resolution (NCDR) continue expanding, now might be the time to consider if these forms are, first, fit for purpose and, secondly, whether they can be standardised to talk to one another.
