- Application for permission to appeal a conclusion that there was no express and binding agreement that the son of the divorced parties would receive the husband's shares on the husband's death. The shares belonged to the husband and they would form part of his estate after his death. This meant that these shares would be available to the court in respect of the wife's claim for financial provision. Application refused. Judgment, 06/08/2014, free
- A preliminary hearing in a high value financial provision case which had to decide if the shares held by H, and according to him held on trust for the parties' son on his death, formed part of the assets to be divided on divorce. The judge ruled that there was no binding agreement, still less a trust, in respect of the shares and as such the H's shares remained the H's. Unless otherwise dealt with, they would remain available to any creditors and they would form part of his estate on his death. Accordingly the claim for a declaration that the shares were held on trust for the son failed. Judgment, 24/01/2014, free
