Partner and Head of the Family Department, Julia Dyson, instructed barrister Trina Little of Westgate Chambers to represent the wife (W) in a complex matter involving allegations of deliberate bankruptcy by the husband (H) to diminish matrimonial assets.
The court found that H’s actions met the criteria for conduct, concluding that the bankruptcy, whether intentional or reckless, resulted in substantial financial loss. Consequently, the Judge deemed it inequitable to disregard such conduct in the final financial award.
