- Court
- High Court
Copyright in artworks created during the relationship is relationship property under the PRA; the Family Court was wrong to classify that copyright as the artist's separate property; consequently the Family Court could not decline to treat copyright as divisible under the presumption of equal sharing and the matter is remitted for valuation and division to achieve equality.
