In a ruling delivered on 13 June, the Supreme Court issued a judgement which may affect a number of high value divorces in the South West, and is welcomed by a leading Westcountry family lawyer for its fairness and common sense.
The case, Petrodel v Prest, showed that the husband purchased properties in London through various offshore companies, yet the Court of Appeal rejected the wife’s claims to have these properties transferred to her as part of her divorce settlement, due to the English law principle that a company has its own legal personality.
