<![CDATA[* City types already facing losing their bonus or even their job are having to 
cope with another, unexpected side&#45;effect of the credit crunch: divorcing 
has become harder. According to Anna Wagstaff, a family law partner at Gordon 
Dadds, there have been a number of cases involving City&#45;types lately in 
which the divorce can't be finalised because the parties can't sell their 
biggest asset, their house. &#34;Clients having gone through the heartbreak 
of divorce and having reached a financial settlement find that they still 
cannot move on because failure to sell the house means they can't implement 
their divorce agreement,&#34; Wagstaff says. Is there no end to their 
suffering?]]>

<![CDATA[Last week&#8217;s Court of Appeal decision in the case brought by J. K. Rowling has 
stacked yet another building block in the creation of a privacy law. The 
court upheld Rowling&#8217;s right to battle to ban publication of covert 
long&#45;lens pictures taken of her son in public when 18 months old. The Master 
of the Rolls, Sir Anthony Clarke, said: &#8220;If a child of parents who are not 
in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him 
published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent.&#8221;]]>
