Connell J discussed the effect of the presence of a prenuptial agreement, saying ‘The prenuptial agreement in my view is relevant to tending to guide the court to a more modest award than might have been made without it. I reject outright the suggestion that it should dictate the wife’s entitlement; but I bear it in mind nevertheless’. It did not matter whether a prenuptial agreement was taken into account under the more specific rubric of s 25(2)(g) of the 1973 UK Act or, more generally, having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
