Scottish Feminist Judgments Project releases third episode in podcast series
The Scottish Feminists Judgments Project (SFJP) has launched its third and final podcast episode.
The Podcast series, which was launched last month, aims to consider whether important legal cases might have been decided differently if the judgment had adopted a feminist perspective.
Each of the three episodes tackles a different case and the most recent edition focuses on the case of Coyle v Coyle.
Mr and Mrs Coyle were married for 25 years and after several years of being separated, Mrs Coyle filed for divorce. They had accumulated some wealth over the years, and they agreed to share this wealth evenly. However, Mrs Coyle wanted further compensation above and beyond that.
In the latest podcast, the SFJP look at the case to explore whether there is a difference between the spirit of the law and the way it is applied in practice.
