    The court found the petitioner had lived apart for the requisite continuous two years and that the marriage had irretrievably broken down; the cross-petition alleging unreasonable behaviour and desertion by the petitioner failed because evidence showed the respondent instigated and sustained the breakdown and non-consummation was due to the respondent; respondent was not entitled to maintenance or damages as she was financially independent and no statutory basis existed for her claims.
