Today the Supreme Court handed down a potentially landmark divorce judgment. The case, Wyatt v Vince, centred on whether a spouse could bring a financial claim long after a divorce. Kathleen Wyatt, 55 and Dale Vince, 53, were married in 1981, they had a son and lived a new age lifestyle, before splitting in 1992. Ms Wyatt then brought a claim in 2011 for financial settlement of their divorce.

Charmaine Hast, a partner and Head of the Family team at Wedlake Bell, provided commentary on the case. This was covered by the BBC News website, the Press Association, the Daily Mail online and in over 80 other regional publications. She was also interviewed by BBC Radio Five live, ITV News and the BBC World Tonight.
