Divorce
[2019] SC (Bda) 79 Div
The Wife sought ancillary relief following the breakdown of a 22-year marriage. The case involved substantial trust assets, including The A Fund and The X Trust, which held significant real estate and business assets. The Husband argued that the trusts were not nuptial settlements and could not be varied, while the Wife claimed she was entitled to a financial provision from these assets. The Court considered trust law, financial resources, and fairness in post-divorce financial settlements.
