Even where the petitioner’s adultery precipitated the respondent’s conduct, the petitioner may obtain a divorce if, applying the O'Neill test, a right‑thinking person would conclude the respondent’s behaviour was such that the petitioner cannot reasonably be expected to live with him; the violent, prolonged and terrifying conduct of 13/14 May 1982 met that threshold, so the appeal must be allowed and the marriage dissolved.
