It is amazing that in 2013 we hear from an eminent Judge that the 1973 Act is out of date and unfit for purpose. This was a bad piece of legislation in 1973 and has brought family law in England & wales into disrepute. Our judges could have done a great deal to alleviate the bad law created by politicians but they have generally failed to do so particularly in the area of financial provision. It is about time for a total rethink, not just tinkering with ADR.
