Conduct & Contributions under Section 25 MCA 1973 in Financial Remedy Cases

Introduction

Practitioners will be aware that section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (‘s25 MCA’) is central to resolving any financial remedy case, both for consent orders and contested proceedings. S25 MCA is the central pillar and lays down the factors to which the court must consider in each and every case. Section 25 (2)(f) looks at arguments over the parties contributions and section 25 (2)(g) allows for conduct arguments. Such arguments are often raised and can lead to confusion and worry for the parties.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide an overview and analysis of conduct and contribution arguments under the s25 MCA. It will explore some of the key cases and provide you with practical guidance and top tips to bring into your practice and to assist your clients.
