HJB v WPB: Beware the Preliminary Issue
It is entirely appropriate for the factual question of either the existence of an agreement (if in dispute), or whether one party ought to be entitled to resile therefrom on the so-called Edgar grounds or otherwise, to be heard as a preliminary issue. However, beware any suggestion that the court should embark on a consideration of the status of any such agreement as a preliminary issue, with no consideration of the surrounding circumstances or s 25 factors.

AT v BT: The Return of Compensation
In AT v BT [2023] EWHC 3531 Francis J considered what he described (at [4]) as ‘the proper approach of the court to the sharing principle and to the principle of compensation’ given that ‘the husband maintains that this is a pure needs case and the wife asserts that this is a full sharing case’. This led H to offer a lump sum of £3.545m and W to seek a lump sum of £9.145m (with W to retain a property with an agreed value of £195,000 (£190,000 net of notional costs of sale)).
