Early details about decision in Charman appeal
This very big money divorce case was heard in the Court of Appeal in early March. It will affect very big money cases (which we categorise as over £10-15 mill) but how much will it disturb – or perhaps even assist (?!) cases involving moderate levels of wealth, perhaps £750,000 to £15million? News reaches us that judgement will now be handed down after Easter. The President of the Family Division, Sir Mark Potter, as the residing judge in the case, has been invited by the advocates to give guidance for the whole legal profession on special contribution and the treatment of non matrimonial assets, as referred to in Miller.
David Hodson has been asked by Family Law Week to write a commentary on the case and it will also appear here within a week of the judgement with an initial note by us on the outcome appearing here within a day or so of the decision.
