    FCMC3480/2016

    Leave to enforce arrears for the period Jan 2018–Mar 2020 is refused because the wife failed to demonstrate special circumstances under s.12 Cap 192: her limited WhatsApp reminders, a single solicitor demand in June 2019 and prolonged inaction thereafter did not justify enforcing stale arrears; receipt of modest payments from husband's parent did not excuse delay; the legal burden rests on the applicant to act within a year.
