C v C is overruled; when applying section 7 MPPO courts should adopt the White v White / Miller/McFarlane framework: ascertain assets, assess needs (often dispositive), if surplus apply an equal‑sharing yardstick and depart only for good reason after considering source of assets, duration, contributions, conduct (only if obvious and gross) and compensation (generally intrinsic to sharing); apply broad‑brush discretion and articulate reasons for any departure from equality.
