| British Council Legal E-newsletter - Issue 42 -- 20/11/2008 Gautam’s paper focuses on comparing the relevant provisions of the PWDVA with the Matrimonial Homes Act, 1967, the Matrimonial Homes Act, 1983 (Amended) and the Family Law Act 1996 of England. These Acts are designed to cover the same areas as are covered by the PWDVA. Hence, through this comparison, the paper hopes to achieve two objectives: first, to ascertain which law provides better protection to non-owning spouses; and second, to determine whether it is possible to incorporate a certain part of the English law into the PWDVA in order to fill some of the gaping holes that have been exposed in recent Supreme Court decisions.
