The wife sought to challenge in ancillary relief proceedings the behaviour of the husband with respect to the assets of his company.
Held: It was inappropriate to refer ancillary relief proceedings in divorce to the Companies Court. The true issue here was the alleged breach by the husband of orders for the sale of his optician’s businesses. The wife was entitled to proper investigation of what he had done to comply with the order.
