Reading a Case
Instructions
Question 6.
In the paragraph beginning “Held-” what do you think it means
when it says that Balfour v Balfour, Gould v Gould and Jones
v Padavatton were distinguished?
Answer 6.
Distinguished means that the principle in these cases does not apply in Merritt v Merritt because the facts of the latter case differed in a material sense from the facts of the previous cases.
