Article summary

Family analysis: In the latest effort by the wife in Akhmedova v Akhmedov to recover the award made against the husband, disclosure was sought from the tenth respondent, her son. The son made cross-claims relating to the wife’s third party funding, for a reporting restriction order and to prevent the use or publication of confidential documents. Chris Bryden, barrister at 4 King’s Bench Walk, comments on the issues in this example of the satellite litigation that can arise from enforcement proceedings.
