When Is an Add-Back Not an Add-Back?
So-called ‘small money’ cases have historically been rarely published. However, the President’s Confidence and Confidentiality: Transparency in the Family Courts Report of 29 October 2021 and the subsequent reports of the TIG Anonymisation & Publication and Financial Remedies sub-groups (amongst others) have led to a welcome increase in such judgments. JN v GN [2023] EWFC 244 is one such decision and a good example of justice ‘at the coal face’.
