Martin v. M'Ghee and Others [1914] ScotLR 499 (27 March 1914)

ELIZABETH McLAUGHLIN v. MICHAEL McLAUGHLIN [2001] ScotSC 3 (30th January, 2001)
The court found the marriage had broken down irretrievably and that, applying section 9(1)(a) and section 10(1) of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 1985, fair sharing of matrimonial property was justified. Special circumstances existed due to the pursuer's exclusive occupation of the home, the defender's disproportionate post-separation contributions, and the pursuer's lack of contribution since 1998. The court ordered transfer of the pursuer's interest in the property to the defender and payment of a capital sum to the pursuer, with specified interest, as a fair and reasonable resolution.
