Critchell v Critchell [2015] EWCA Civ 436

[2026] 1 FRJ 43. Despite PAG1 and W v H [2020] EWFC B10 stressing the importance of treating a case on its own facts, somehow a view developed that pensions should inevitably be divided to achieve equality of income in all ‘needs’ cases. The source is unclear, but it’s worth starting with PAG1.
