Dr Robert George (Jesus College) has been awarded a three-year British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowship, to start in Michaelmas Term 2011. His project, entitled "The realities of relocation: analysing disputes over post-separation family migration in the English trial courts", will focus on the legal disputes that arise between separated parents when one proposes moving to a new location with their child. Although these cases are increasingly common, very little is known about their everyday reality in England. Robert's project will examine the transcripts of judgments from a sample of trial courts and will interview litigants involved in relocation disputes to look at trends in the outcomes of the trial courts and to obtain some detailed data.
