Work v Gray [2017] EWCA Civ 270, [2017] All ER (D) 61 (Apr)
A judge had not erred in law or applied the wrong principle when considering the concept of special contribution and its proper scope in the context of a financial claim under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. The Court of Appeal in dismissing the husband’s appeal, held that the judge had been correct in his order that the husband and wife had been entitled to an equal share of the marital wealth. There had been no justification for an unequal division of that wealth in the husband’s favour.
