Brisset v Brisset [2009] EWCA Civ 679

Bailii Report

Appeal by husband against lump sum order. The wife had a lower income during the period since the separation, which she had made up from her capital. The husband claimed that the district judge had been guilty of double-counting, in that he had shared the currently held assets but also awarded the wife an additional lump sum in respect the capital that she had used since the separation. The Court of Appeal agreed, and reduced the lump sum.
