Financial Provision on Separation
|
Dr Mackay was previously employed within the School of Law, University of Glasgow to undertake research into the use of legally binding 'Minutes of Agreement' by separating couples in Scotland to resolve the division of their property. This research was led by Professor Jane Mair (Principal Investigator) and Professor Fran Wasoff (Co-Investigator) who were funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. Dr Mackay extracted and analysed data from 600 Minutes of Agreement and interviewed Solicitors and individuals who had previously entered into an Agreement, contributing to the Final Report and writing a Research Briefing. |
