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.
