1. Read Burns v Burns [1984] Ch 317. If this case were being heard today on recent facts applying current law, what aspects of the judgment might be different? Consider:

How the parties are referred to (both legally and personally);

How the law has changed since then;

What law would now be applied;

What grounds would be given for the outcome; and

Whether the outcome would be different.

2. Imagine that the events in Kingsnorth Trust v Tizard (1986) 51 P and CR 296 took place 38 years later than they did in reality (thus, that the marriage broke down in 2020) and that the case was heard in 2022. You are the judge in the Chancery Division. Write a judgment, using modern conventions of judgment-writing and applying today's law of co-ownership.
