Judge Marie Baker and Claire Collins SC explore the key concept of “proper provision” in Irish divorce law – the test that Family Law Courts must apply in the context of divorce or judicial separation. Drawing on recent appellate decisions, they examine how courts assess financial fairness between spouses, and how the use of the term ‘fairness’ has evolved in judgments over the years.
