    AEM v. VFM

    Citation
    AEM v. VFM
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV261/2006

    The Court refused to reopen the appeal because the alleged cohabitation was not shown to have a material effect on the wife's financial position and the inheritance/probate did not require reopening given the circumstances and prior notification; the provisional costs order was not varied and the award of costs in favour of the wife was upheld; leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was refused because the issues raised were based on established principles and were factual rather than matters of general public importance.
