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.
