MB v EB [2019] EWHC 3676 (Fam)

Judgment of Mr Justice Cohen on the “needs claim” of the applicant husband, who described himself as a “struggling artist”, against his former wife who had resources of £50 million. The judgment provides a firm reminder of costs rules, amplified by the recent amendments to FPR 2010 Practice Direction 28A, where a party fails to litigate sensibly and to engage in sensible negotiations.
