Michael Glaser KC and Helen Williams (instructed by Russell Cooke ) for the Respondent
This judgment was handed down remotely at 10.30am on 15 July 2024 by circulation to the parties or their representatives by e-mail and by release to the National Archives.
                  In this judgment, I address the difficult and sensitive topic of the interplay between domestic abuse and conduct in the context of financial remedy proceedings. Although in this case the parties are male civil partners, the principles are equally applicable to all relationships where financial remedies proceedings are brought under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 or the Civil Partnership Act 2004.
                  The question is not whether domestic abuse per se is vile and indefensible, for it indubitably is. The question is whether the domestic abuse alleged in this case is potentially a relevant factor in financial remedies litigation, in circumstances where "conduct" is, in accordance with both statute and case law, only to be taken into account if it is of a highly exceptional nature.
