"Current divorce and financial provision law, he said, was ‘designed in a wholly different era to deal with a wholly different society and way of life’ and is no longer fit for purpose"

It is judges who interpret and apply law; then blame the fallout on the law. The law was never designed to be applied in the manner the judges found useful to themselves and their pals in past chambers. The judges never were fit for purpose, not the law. 'Wholly different society...' exactly, not the society judges inhabit, which is the society whose financial interests family law has been perverted to serve.

‘bloodshed, time and cost’....says a High Court judge just as complicit in the current system as anybody else ...and who therefore has blood on his hands.
