Re Russell children.

Maw tells Davies, "The difficulty has been that Lady Russell has never been able to bring herself to regard the provisions of the deed insofar as the children concerned as a final settlement. The deed endeavours to make a calculation to give effect to the parties' equal rights but this calculation is quantitative rather than qualitative and it is quality that matters above all."

"The difficulty I have set out now in measurable distance of being removed as the benevolent assistance of the two independent trustees will safeguard our clients' rights until such time as Lord Russell can bring himself to co-operate with Lady Russell in good faith for the benefit of the children." Maw proceeds to lay out six points regarding Dora and BR and the summonses, the divorce and the children.
