This is an appeal by the appellant (to whom we shall for convenience refer as "the husband") against a decision of the Deputy Registrar dated 30th April, 2012, whereby she made certain orders upon the respondent's ("the wife") application for ancillary relief. The Court gave its decision allowing the appeal on 17th November, 2012, and now gives it reasons.
The background is fully described in the judgment of the Deputy Registrar. For the purposes of this appeal we can summarise it comparatively briefly.
The parties were married in August 1999 having co-habited since November 1997. There is one child, a daughter, who is now 8. The husband is 48 and the wife is 39. They separated in 2009. The wife is a probate administrator and works 26.15 hours a week, earning £2,085.75 per month net.
As to capital assets, the parties have acquired a number of properties over the years. For the moment, we shall take the values as shown in the agreed schedule of assets produced for the hearing before the Deputy Registrar and adopted by the Deputy Registrar for the purposes of her decision. However, as discussed later, there are significant errors in the figures.
This is the property in which the husband is residing. It is owned jointly by the parties and was acquired in 2009. It is valued at £445,000. After deduction of the mortgages of £416,695, it was shown as having a net equity of £28,805.
