Recent case demonstrates how late evidence cannot be a 'critique of the judgment'
The recent case [2021] EWCA Civ 72 found that a request for clarification of the judgment cannot be used as a way of arguing further and ‘critiquing’ the judgment.
After the judgment in this divorce case was passed, both the husband and wife involved had sent what they said were requests for clarification. However, the judge concluded that these requests were actually a “critique of the judgment and an attempt at further argument.”
The recent family law case touched on pension-sharing and matrimonial asset division.
