St Catharine's Law Society: 'Seeking Fairness: Gender and Family Finances'

Professor of Law, Alison Diduck, from UCL will be giving a talk tonight, Monday 4th March, with the title; 'Seeking Fairness: Gender and Family Finances'.

The talk will centre on how the courts have dealt with finance and property issues on divorce, including increased use of pre-and post nuptial agreements. In particular, in those cases which reach the courts, usually those involving wealthy parties, the courts aim to do 'fairness' between them. Diduck would like to think about what this principle means in the context of gendered family living and policy to encourage the parties to make their own arrangements without resort to courts.

5-6pm, The Ramsden Room, St Catharine's College.
