The judge proceeded in the respondent's absence because his medical evidence was unconvincing and he had wilfully failed to comply with disclosure orders; adverse inferences were drawn from non‑disclosure and the court found the purported share transfers to be sham transactions intended to defeat the petitioner’s claims and set them aside under s.17; on the evidence the petitioner made significant contributions to the matrimonial wealth and was awarded a lump sum and children's lump sums as fair and final settlement; respondent's ancillary relief was dismissed.
