Two LSPO judgments on whether notional deductions should be applied to historic costs.

In HA v EN Richard Todd KC followed the approach started by Cobb J and applied a 30% discount.

In SM v BA Nicholas Allen KC took the view it wasn’t appropriate to make such a discount as a matter of principle.

Two more reports by Fair Shares project on domestic abuse when resolving finances on divorce and regional disparities in spousal maintenance. I was struck by this finding on impact of domestic abuse on females post divorce. Such important work

I really should get out more but does anyone happen to know the rationale for these public service pension schemes (PM, Lord Chancellor and Speaker) being exempt from pension sharing on divorce?
