Our Managing Partner has been featured in Edward Fennell’s Legal Diary, talking about the outcome of the case where 79 divorces were bungled because of a computer error.
The bungled 79 divorces had been approved incorrectly after an online system failed to detect that they were submitted exactly a year after marriage when the law only allows divorces from a year and a day
Katie’s commented:
““At last common sense has prevailed in this case. The High Court has found that all of the couples caught up in this scandal, where their divorces were granted one day before the prescribed time frame because of a computer error, will be granted a reprieve.”
“I wonder whether there will be any compensation payable for those couples who have had to endure this?”
