    FCMC14399/2008

    On balance the court found the respondent remarried in October 2010 which terminated the maintenance order; the petitioner continued payments under a mistaken belief until June 2022; there was credible evidence the respondent concealed the remarriage and sought to frustrate recovery (including a reverse mortgage); accordingly it was not unjust to order full repayment under s.23 MPPO and the appeal failed.

    FHFK v. NCM
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV182/2007

    The substituted service order and resultant decrees were obtained by means that misled the court (fraud or material non-disclosure) and therefore the proceedings were voidable; the respondent was an innocent party deprived of the opportunity to defend, and in the exercise of the court's discretion the substituted service order, the decree nisi and the decree absolute were set aside despite the husband's remarriage.
