- Court of Appeal
The judge correctly exercised discretion: the promises were made on behalf of both spouses, the applicant had already received the bulk of the wife's substantial estate, the services were modest in duration and scope, and the $100,000 award was a reasonable economic recompense; therefore the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal as the judge was not plainly wrong.
