RN v TT

RN v TT

The husband's claim is limited by the long delay in bringing proceedings, his lack of contribution, and the fact that his needs are not relationship-generated. The fair outcome is a lump sum of £35,000 and a 100% pension sharing order of the Aviva pension, with a clean break otherwise. The husband's claims to post-separation accruals and further capital are rejected.
