Andrew Nixon challenges High Court Jurisdiction in Divorce

Andrew Nixon challenges High Court Jurisdiction in Divorce

Andrew has recently successfully argued against the High Court having jurisdiction in a contested divorce. The financial aspects of the break down of the marriage being significant factors for the parties in the proceedings, and the question of jurisdiction coming down to a consideration of Brussels II bis, running arguments of domicile of choice took precedence over the more familiar forum non convenienes approach.

This was not the first time that Andrew has been instructed in a case concerned at its core with the question of in which country will a client receive the most favourable financial remedy outcome following the breakdown of their marriage. His most recent cases have posed that question in relation to Turkey, Egypt and Spain.

If you are considering separating from your partner, or have already separated and would like to discuss with Andrew the financial consequences and various options available to you, then please call 0113 227 0704 or alternatively email his clerk Lisa at lt@stpaulschambers.com to arrange an appointment.

For any advice and assistance for issues like these please do call Andrew on 0113 227 0708 or submit a comment below. Andrew will come back to you at the earliest convenience.
