- Final orders in financial remedy proceedings where the assets were worth £40m, the wife had special medical needs as a result of a brain tumour and the German husband was absent from the final stages of these proceedings. Cobb J also considers, among other things, arguments on inherited wealth, whether the Duxbury or Ogden tables are appropriate to cater for the wife's needs and whether the husband had been served properly. Judgment, 12/12/2017, free
- Wife's appeal against financial orders in which the judge had i) regarded the wife's future inheritance from her father as a resource that she was likely to have in the foreseeable future under Section 25(2)(a) MCA, and ii) granted the wife an occupational interest in the former matrimonial home rather than ordering the husband to pay a lump sum to the wife sufficient to enable her to buy a property of her own. The appeal was allowed and the matter was remitted for reconsideration of the appropriate lump sum to be paid to the wife in addition to the agreed sum of £2m. Judgment, 19/10/2017, free
- A complicated financial remedy judgment involving trusts, inherited assets, businesses and non-matrimonial property. Judgment, 21/02/2017, free
- As part of their divorce settlement, the parties agreed that the ex-wife would keep the first £100,000 of any inheritance from her mother and the balance over that amount would be split equally between them. The mother left exactly £100,000 to the ex-wife with the remaining £150,000 going to the ex-wife's children. The ex-husband brought a probate claim to challenge the validity of the ex-wife's mother's will, alleging that it was not duly executed in accordance with the provisions of section 9 of the Wills Act 1837. The Deputy Master decided that H had no sufficient interest in the will and therefore had no standing to bring the claim. The ex-husband's appeal against that decision was allowed.
