The recent decision in Lambert v Lambert has been hailed as a landmark by matrimonial lawyers. In their historic judgment, the Court of Appeal have recognized that, on the division of marital assets following divorce, the role of the homemaker should be given equality with that of the wealth generator. In this Special Bulletin, District Judge Roger Bird, author of The Ancillary Relief Handbook, revisits the House of Lords' judgment in White and the post-White cases, explains the Lambert judgments, and then analyzes its significance for ancillary relief cases more generally. This book is an essential publication for all matrimonial lawyers in the UK.
