From Morning Report, 8:27 am on 21 June 2023

A polyamorous trio is able to split into pairs to settle a landmark property dispute, the Supreme Court has ruled.

The High Court initially found the former throuple's situation didn't fall under the Property Relationships Act, but this was later appealed.

Yesterday, judges decided that with all three living at one property at one point in time, their relationships did not need to be exclusive to be considered by the courts.
