Charles Hale KC and Nicholas Fairbank comment on Supreme Court ruling.
In an article for STEP Journal Charles Hale KC and Nicholas Fairbank comment on the recent Supreme Court ruling in Pontanina v Pontanin [2024] UKSC 3.
Christopher Hames KC and Pippa Sanger successfully opposed an application to strike out a claim for financial remedies on public policy grounds, representing the client on a pro bono basis.
This was a pre-emptive application by the husband to strike out the wife’s claim for financial remedies pursuant to public policy principles on the basis of the wife’s alleged bigamy following a 20-year marriage, characterised by abuse and for which there were two children now living with the wife. The husband relied on the Court of Appeal authority of Whiston v Whiston [1995] Fam 198.
