For more than 150 years prenuptial agreements have not been enforceable under English law. While the contracts were recognised in the US, major European countries - such as Germany and France - and other parts of the world, they were disregarded in England because of the belief 15 decades ago that women would end up being forced to sign unfair agreements by their husbands.Date: 3 July 2009

One of the hardest-pressed groups when it comes to the housing market in recent years has been the beleaguered first-time buyer. During the boom years young people whose parents would have got on the housing ladder in their 20s were finding it more and more of a struggle to do likewise, faced with rapidly growing house prices. Declining affordability was bad enough, while other social trends - such as people staying single for longer - meant that often the problem was compounded by having only a single income available to pay the mortgage.Date: 20 May 2009

The only hint that this was anything other than a continuation of a long-running trend was the slight slowdown in the fall from 1.9 per cent in March.Date: 8 May 2009
