"Sir Nicholas Wall, president of the Family Division, said that women in particular were receiving unfair settlements when a partnership ended.
He described the current situation as an “injustice” but insisted that any legal changes would not undermine the institution of marriage and could still be judged on a case by case basis taking into account the length of the relationship and how much each partner contributed."
