NT v RY
Given the short duration of the marriage, the wife's significantly greater financial and caregiving contributions, the husband's non-disclosure, and the fact that both parties' needs are met, fairness is achieved by maintaining the current division of assets (58% to wife, 42% to husband) with no lump sum order and a clean break as to income and capital.
