Case No. EWFC-43

(Leading Counsel instructed by Levison Meltzer Pigott, Solicitors) appeared on behalf of the Respondent husband.1.This judgment relates to various matters considered at a hearing before me at the Central Family Court on 9th February 2023, all of which arose out of applications made in the financial remedies proceedings arising out of the divorce between Ms EL (to whom I shall refer as “the wife”) and Mr ML (to whom I shall refer as “the husband”). In referring to them as the wife and the husband I recognise that they are long since divorced, and I apologise to them if it seems odd, but it is convenient nomenclature for the court to utilise.2.The wife appeared before me at this hearing through Mr David Burrows (Solicitor Advocate). The husband appeared before me at this hearing through Ms Deborah Bangay KC (Leading Counsel instructed by Levison Meltzer Pigott, Solicitors).3.In order for the reader of this judgment to understand the decisions I have made it is necessary to set out, in a certain amount of detail, a chronology of the events leading up to the hearing before me.
