I mentioned that I would send you three cases of divorce or judicial separation so that
you can see how judges apply the law to a particular set of facts. It
two decisions of the High Court and one Court of Appeal where the case of the Court
is regularly cited in other decisions. Any of the manuals
will also discuss the judicial approach.
You will not need to explain the facts of the fictional case study at the beginning, but you
you refer to the facts to the extent that they relate to a particular factor.
