Briers v Briers [2017] EWCA Civ 15, [2017] All ER (D) 78 (Feb)
The Court of Appeal dismissed the husband’s appeal against a financial remedy order made between the parties following a divorce. The judge, in ordering the payment of a lump sum of £1.6m to the wife in four instalments over two and a half years and to transfer to the wife of 25% of his pension, had been right, and his findings of fact had been unassailable. None of the grounds of appeal had been successfully made-out.
