[edit] Name of article

Hmmm ... not many people come here. I think that this article's name should change to Champerty and maintenance. The link to maintenance currently links to lawsuit where it is not mentioned. Any discussion of the two is linked.Cutler (talk) 10:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Probably needs some disambiguation, but "maintenance" in the legal sense I think is normally used in the matrimonial law sense. Perhaps move this article to champerty and maintenance, put a redirect here, and replace the maintenance redirect with a disambiguation page? --Legis (talk - contribs) 18:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Just linked "maintenance" to that page as it is a dab page and the legal meaning was already there.Cutler (talk) 18:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Worldwide view - needs clarification

Looks very U.S. at the moment. There have been important recent developments in England and Wales. As to elsewhere .... ?Cutler (talk) 10:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

It has been on my "to do" list forever to put more in about the English / Commonwealth position. Like all these things, I suppose I will get to it forever. --Legis (talk - contribs) 18:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, I did a quick lashup that I hope will be a foundation for others to build on.Cutler (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Needs a Few More Examples

As a user of this page trying to understand champerty, I found it a bit difficult. Could it maybe use a bit less legalistic language and a few more examples? Thanks! 122.163.199.204 (talk) 07:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
