If asked, Mr Standish may say that three rounds of litigation, with another to follow, were worth it – Mrs Standish, perhaps not.

In a previous post Nicholas Allen KC considered the potential impact of Waggott v Waggott [2018] 2 FLR 406 on the argument that income (or the assets or capital generated therefrom) earned in or referable to the first 12 months post-separation should be classed as matrimonial property to which the sharing principle applies. This issue has now been revisited in OS v DT [2025] EWFC 156 (B) per HHJ Hess.

Judgment by DDJ G Evans in a modest asset case involving significant non-disclosure and the taking of evidence from a respondent in a non-Hague Convention jurisdiction (here, Pakistan).
Cobb J. Third-largest financial remedy case in the jurisdiction’s history. The judge set aside a separation agreement entered into by W under significant emotional and psychological pressure.
HHJ Farquhar. Application by husband to set aside a PSO under the Thwaite jurisdiction due to the wife’s sustained non-compliance. The court held that continued enforcement of the PSO would be inequitable given the respondent’s conduct, the applicant’s age and deteriorating health, and the executory nature of the order.
