Pre-Nups Breaking news…
This morning, we in the family team are eagerly awaiting the judgement in the landmark Pre-Nuptial case of Radmacher and Granatino. In March, nine Supreme Court justices heard the appeal by Nicolas Granatino and have spent seven months considering what level of award should be made to him in light of the Pre-nuptial agreement that the couple entered into. Pre-nuptials are not, at the moment, legally binding, although are often a factor taken into account by the Judge when deciding a case. The result of this case and a review by the Law Commission should lead to clarification on the legal standing of such agreements, something that is long overdue.
Watch this space for further news later this morning…
