FG v BN (Appeal Out of Time) [2026] EWFC 101 (B) (08 May 2026)
Appeal out of time in a financial remedies case dismissed. The court refused relief from sanctions after a 10½-month delay and upheld finality concerns.
The prenuptial agreement should be upheld, including compensatory payment for the transfer of shares, as there was no binding agreement that the husband's shares in the wife's family companies would have no value on divorce, and the outcome is not unfair in the circumstances. The husband's needs are met by the award, and the clean break principle justifies the mutual transfer of shares with payment at discounted value. The husband is not entitled to sharing of non-matrimonial assets beyond what is provided for by the agreement and his needs.

The court found no evidence of undisclosed assets and accepted the applicant's disclosure as complete.

RKV v JWC [2025] EWFC 430 (B) (14 November 2025)
Financial remedies judgment in which the court granted relief from sanctions on terms, drew adverse inferences for non-disclosure, and ordered a substantial transfer to the wife.
The Deed of Revocation is a magnetic factor and governs the division of assets; there is no evidence of misrepresentation or undue pressure vitiating the DOR. The wife is entitled to an equal share of assets as per the DOR, with half of her late-emerged tax liability deducted. Child maintenance will be determined by CMS, with the husband to pay half of school fees and specified additional costs. The husband must pay £100,000 towards the wife's costs due to unreasonable litigation conduct.
