Crowther v Crowther [2017] EWCA Civ 2698

The Court of Appeal allows the Husband’s appeal following financial remedy proceedings and remits the case for a re-hearing. The questioning of the Husband by the judge went beyond assisting a litigant in person wife to present her case. The process at Final Hearing was therefore inadvertently unfair because the husband had no advance warning of the point then raised and so was unable to present his own case in order to meet it.
