Following the Supreme Court ruling in 2015 in the case of Vince v Wyatt, the way became open for any divorcee that had not completed a financial order to bring an action against their former spouse, regardless of how long ago they divorced.
In one such case almost 20 years post-divorce, acting for the former wife we were able to advise on issues surrounding the undervaluation of private company shares transferred and the promised pension contributions that had not been made for her.
Husband consistently refused to acknowledge any liability or to make any offers, and the claim proceeded to a final hearing. A substantial settlement offer was made and accepted mid-proceedings.
