Matrimonial Homes Act 1967
The Matrimonial Homes Act 1967 (C.75) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom designed to reverse the House of Lords decision in ''National Provincial Bank Ltd v Ainsworth'' () AC 1175, where it ruled that a deserted wife had no right to stay in the family home.
==Background and Act==
Under Lord Denning's decision in ''Bendall'' v ''McWhirter'' () 2 QB 466, a deserted wife occupying the marital home had a personal licence to stay there.〔Heward (1990) p.50〕 The decision provoked disapproval among the judiciary and from the public; a correspondent wrote: Dear Sir: You are a disgrace to all mankind to let these women break up homes and expect us chaps to keep them while they rob us of what we have worked for and put us out on the street. I only hope you have the same trouble as us. So do us all a favour and take a Rolls and run off Beachy Head and don't come back.〔Heward (1990) p.52〕
The House of Lords effectively nullified Denning's work with the case ''National Provincial Bank Ltd'' v ''Ainsworth'' () AC 1175 in 1965, which ruled that the deserted wife had no license to stay.〔Heward (1990) p.53〕 The Act was primarily aimed at reversing this decision, and to this end it states that where one person has the right to occupy a property and his spouse does not, the spouse can occupy the property if it has been used as the marital home. The spouse can only be evicted with a court order, and the court can grant her the right to occupy the house if she is not in occupation at the time of the desertion.〔Stone (1968) p.306〕 This state of affairs can continue until the marriage ceases to subsist, either by divorce or by the death of the partner with the property right.〔Stone (1968) p.308〕 The Act was given the Royal Assent on 27 July 1967. It was repealed by the Matrimonial Homes Act 1983 and the County Courts Act 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LexisLibrary:Document )〕
