A common “Misconception” around medical negligence is:
"Suing for medical negligence means suing the individual doctor"
Nikki Yavari, Head of Medical Negligence at Graysons says: “A medical negligence claim is not about punishing individual practitioners. Instead, it aims to compensate the injured person financially and hold the organisation accountable. Medical errors are often due to failures within healthcare systems, or due to procedures being incorrectly carried out.. Claims encourage providers to improve patient safety and prevent similar incidents from happening again.”

If you've been injured through no fault of your own, then you deserve proper representation from a solicitor who cares about your situation.

Before you sign anything or instruct a solicitor, ask these three questions:

The next in our misconception series is Personal Injury.
“Making a claim is greedy or frivolous"

Jonathan West, Head of Personal Injury at Graysons says: “The reality is that those who pursue a claim for a personal injury are people who have suffered through no fault of their own, whose lives have been impacted – sometimes seriously - and who are simply trying to get back to normality. Making a claim makes sure that the incident is investigated and the risk of it happening to someone else is reduced”
If you have suffered an injury that wasn’t your fault speak to us today.

This month we are going to address some common misconceptions in law, starting with family law.

“Common law marriage gives you the same rights as being married”

Megan Wroe, Head of Family Law at Graysons says: “Often, people who cohabit rather than marry, refer to themselves as “common law spouses”, generally because they live together as if they were married, but in fact, there is no such thing as a common law spouse.

It is a complete myth. A cohabiting partner has no claim on any of their partner’s assets unless they can show a legal or equitable interest.

For example, they would have no claim on the other party’s pension, which is often one of the highest value assets a person may have. If the main home is owned in one party’s sole name, rather than jointly, they would have to prove that they have an interest in the property, for example by way of contribution or express agreement.

In contrast, for married couples or those in a civil partnership, all the assets would go into the “joint pot”, whether owned in one person’s sole name or jointly and then consideration would be given as to how those assets should be shared. This could be equally or unequally depending on the circumstances.”

Going through a divorce is probably one of the hardest things you'll ever do. Choosing the right solicitor to represent you can mean the difference between a drawn-out battle or a resolution that works for your family.

Before you instruct anyone, here are five questions you should ask:

31/05/2026

A judge has ruled that a wife’s share of matrimonial assets should be reduced by 40% due to her conduct.

The court has a wide range of factors that are considered when deciding how your assets should be divided on divorce. One of these factors is ‘the conduct of the parties, if that conduct is such that it would be the opinion of the court for it to be inequitable to disregard it’. Often this factor is raised by a party due to the behaviour of a spouse during the course of litigation, for example by failing to provide full disclosure or delaying proceedings unnecessarily (known as litigation conduct), however like in this recent case it can also be raised with respect to a spouse’s behaviour during the marriage.

A very high bar must be met for conduct to be considered.

The judge ruled that this bar had been reached in this case.
