[2025] EWHC 1460 (Fam)

In circumstances where the father has failed to provide full and frank disclosure, the court is left in the invidious position of having to do its best to estimate his overall wealth on the basis of the limited information available.

I am entitled to conclude that the father’s resources are such that he can meet without difficulty the claims made by the mother. Nevertheless, in the following paragraphs I have analysed his position on the basis of such information as has been provided. I have also considered and made findings about various transactions which are the subject of the mother’s section 423 application. My overall conclusions, as explained below, are that his resources can be measured in tens of millions of pounds and that they are largely accessible to him and sufficiently liquid to enable him easily to meet the mother’s claims.
