    Case number
    FCMC11053/2005

    Applying the Livingstone‑Stallard objective test to the proven findings — repeated job instability, gambling and related dissipation of income, creation of overwhelming credit card debts charged to the wife's name, deceit about the business, refusal to propose viable remedies and repeated harassment — the court found on the balance of probabilities that the husband so behaved that the wife could not reasonably be expected to live with him; therefore a decree nisi is justified under s.11A(2)(b) Cap.179.
