RRE v JPR [2026] EWFC 7 (13 January 2026)
Financial remedy decision on whether trust-distributed family wealth was matrimonialised. The court found the funds remained non-matrimonial and limited the wife’s award to needs.
Applicant was habitually resident in England at the time of her divorce application and for the preceding twelve months. Respondent failed to prove E country is a more appropriate forum. English proceedings should not be stayed. Applicant's claim to trust assets in E country is illusory unless she proves lack of consent to transfer. English court has jurisdiction and is the natural forum for the parties' disputes.

KV v KV (No. 2) [2024] EWFC 359 (13 December 2024)
The Family Court held the wife was habitually resident in England and Wales when she filed for divorce, and it refused a stay in favour of later foreign proceedings.
There is a serious issue to be tried as to whether the assets held by the defendant (including those purportedly transferred to Quintet and those subject to the Trust Deed) belong to the claimant as trustee for its customers. The defendant has no beneficial interest in the assets and should be restrained from dealing with them. Damages are not an adequate remedy because the assets are held on trust for third parties. The cross-undertaking in damages, qualified by sanctions law, is appropriate.
