‘In recent weeks there has been widespread reporting of government measures to introduce “mandatory mediation” for separating couples.

Will they actually result in couples moving away courts, and resolving their disputes through mediation, as the government wants?’

After all, they’re both silhouettes of birds “equipped with accessories associated with an English gentleman”, as Mr Justice Arnold explained last week in Jack Wills Ltd v House of Fraser (Stores) Ltd [2014] EWHC 110 (Ch).’
