The Property (Relationships) Act 1976 remains (in its much amended form), a complex and challenging piece of social legislation, a minefield for the casual or the unwary. The many and varied provisions of the Act are engaged whether one is considering a so called “big money case”, the division of a house-car-dog property pool or signing off a contracting out agreement. Case law has continued to evolve as legal innovators and those willing and able to think outside of the box have tested the boundaries of the Act.
