The Court has no statutory jurisdiction to order an interim lump sum payment on the basis advanced; Rule 78 of the Matrimonial Causes Rules cannot be construed to create a substantive interim lump sum power beyond the MPPO and MCO rule‑making powers, and only clear legislative provision can confer such a power (following authorities including Wicks v Wicks).
