Family proceedings

Akester v Fitzgerald [2016] EWHC 2961 (Fam), [2016] All ER (D) 137 (Nov)

The Family Division dismissed, as totally without merit, a husband’s application for the revocation of various orders made by the Family Court in the course of financial remedy proceedings brought by the wife, and by the Court of Protection in separate proceedings. The court further held that the husband’s attempt to ventilate matters, previously determined, by application in the Family Division was an abuse of process.
