    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV40/1967

    The appeal is allowed because the husband's cumulative conduct — violent assaults, repeated degrading taunts indicating he regarded women as purchasable, persistent evenings away and conduct culminating in the car incident — amounted to conduct that rendered continued cohabitation virtually impossible and amounted to constructive desertion and cruelty; therefore the husband's decree nisi is rescinded and the wife is entitled to a decree nisi on cruelty and constructive desertion.
