Abstract

This case note reflects on the recent Court of Appeal's decision in Tousi v Gadydukova [2024] ECWA Civ 203 which focused on transferring a joint tenancy under sections 53, 62(1), and schedule 7 of the Family Law Act (FLA) 1996. It interrogated if the parties to a “void” marriage were included in the definition of “cohabitants” in paragraph 3 of the FLA 1996, or if paragraph 2 would apply to them instead. Hence, this case note explores the facts in Tousi 's case, the court's decision, and its implications on the transfer of tenancy under the FLA, housing, and property rights in England and Wales.
