Examples of our Divorce & Financial Settlement work
Broadlegal acted for a Respondent Husband in a complex high value financial remedy proceedings with significant business interest, multiple properties and bank accounts in the UK and India. In what was an extremely contentious and lengthy case, we advised the Husband and defended multiple interim applications made by the Wife alleging that our client was hiding bank accounts and properties in India.
Working with a team of lawyers in India and with our expertise in forensically analysing assets, we also uncovered various hidden plots of land and other properties in India owned by the Wife, which were brought to the court’s attention. We argued that the Wife’s undisclosed assets be brought into the proceedings thereby affording our client a fair share of the matrimonial assets with a combined value in excess of £4.5 million including pensions.We were instructed to act for a Respondent Husband in financial remedy proceedings whose Wife was claiming a share in three properties acquired during the marriage – the matrimonial home and two rental properties with a combined value of £1.5 million. The Husband argued that his parents owned 100% of the beneficial interest in the three properties and that the properties be excluded from the proceedings, notwithstanding that he held the legal title of the matrimonial home in his sole name.
We were subsequently instructed to also act for the Husband’s parents, and we successfully made an application to the court to add them as intervenors in the proceedings to defend their beneficial interest in the properties. Following a 5-day trial with Chinese interpreters, the court made a judgment in our favour and declared that the Husband’s parents did, in fact, own the beneficial interest in the three properties and the properties were excluded from the financial remedy proceedings. In the end, there were no assets to divide between the Husband and the Wife and the matter was resolve by way of a clean break.Broadlegal helped a mother (our client) block the sale of a property by her ex- partner following the end of their cohabitation. The property was in the sole name of the ex-partner, and it served as the family home during the couple’s cohabitation. Upon the breakdown of the relationship, our client moved out of the property and the ex-partner saw an opportunity to dispose of the property without the knowledge of our client. As soon as our client discovered that the property was being sold, we were immediately instructed and we urgently applied for the registration of a unilateral notice against the property, which stalled the sale. We successfully contended that our client was entitled to 50% of the net proceeds, particularly, as she contributed half of the deposit, and the matter was settled without court proceedings.
We acted for an ex-wife (our client) in a financial remedy matter involving a local authority. The ex-husband whose sole name was on the title register of the family home sold the property to a local authority ‘with vacant possession’ without our client’s knowledge, despite our client being in occupation of the property. Our client was unaware of the sale until the day of completion when an agent of the local authority attended the property to find our client in occupation. We urgently registered a restriction against the property in favour of our client, which prevented completion of the sale until we were able to negotiate a settlement sum for our client in excess of £140,000.00.
