Claire Miskin

It is with great sadness that Chambers announces the passing of Claire Miskin on the 27th October 2011.

Claire was a Bencher of Middle Temple, an advocacy trainer and a Recorder on the Western Circuit. She was a member of Chambers for over a decade, and served us as Head of Chambers for four years from January 1997.

We are deeply in her debt for the years of selfless work and dedication that she gave to ensure Chambers' continued success. Her intelligence, dignity, grace and good humour in adversity will be sorely missed.

Jones v Kernott

For Chancery and family practitioners dealing with cohabitation claims the wait is over: the Supreme Court finally handed down its Judgment in the eagerly awaited case of Jones v Kernott on 9th November 2011. The latest in a long line of judicial efforts to grapple with the problems created by co-ownership of property, the main impact of the judgment will be in 'joint names' cases.

Luke Barnes and Mark Jones give their initial reaction.
