The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that Judge Chism did not misdirect himself: he properly considered the father's understanding of the 1986 order but recognised that a consent order cannot oust statutory jurisdiction, and he took into account the parties' means (including the father's debts and the expected increase in the mother's disability allowance) in exercising his discretion to fix reasonable maintenance; there was no basis to disturb the maintenance order.
