    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMC35/1978

    The court found on the facts that the parties continued to share the same household and the petitioner's conduct did not amount to 'living apart' for the requisite continuous five‑year period under s.11A(1)(e); alternatively, even if the statutory period had been met, the petitioner’s proposals were insufficient to avoid the grave financial hardship to the respondent under s.15B, and therefore the petition must be dismissed.
