ABC v PM and another [2015] EWFC 32, [2015] All ER (D) 122 (Apr)
In a divorce/financial remedies case, the judge, pursuant to s 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, set aside a legal charge on Z property in favour of the husband’s solicitors, on the basis that his solicitors had constructive notice of the wife’s claim. The Family Division dismissed the husband’s appeal, on the basis that the solicitors knew something which should have put them on further enquiry.
