Sharp v Sharp [2017] EWCA Civ 408, [2017] All ER (D) 74 (Jun)
The Court of Appeal, in an appeal against a decision to divide matrimonial assets on an equal basis, held that the appellant wife was correct to contend that the combination of potentially relevant factors, namely, short marriage, no children, dual income and separate finances, was sufficient to justify a departure from the equal sharing principle in order to achieve overall fairness between the parties.
