Congratulations to your friend, Tom.
They are very much the exception rather than the rule, however. Having the financial resources to keep a legal case going for 18 months obviously helps. My friend, along with many in a similar situation, hasn't got a pot to pi55 in!
In any legal grey area such as this, the winner will more often than not be the one with the deepest pockets.
The fact remains, no matter how well your lawyer argues your particular case, the legal rights of a co-habitee are far less than those of a partner in a marriage.
Soulfly was quite correct in what he said and you owe him an apology.
Cheers
Brad
