  • Analyses the factors that the court must consider in determining a claim, and discusses the orders that the court can make
  • Considers what constitutes reasonable financial provision, with reference to different types of provision and the various classes of claimant
  • Contains a chapter on practice and procedure, dealing with the matters which will or may arise before, during and after the making of a claim under the 1975 Act
