The applicant sought a divorce and judgment in accordance with a marriage contract signed in 1991.
The respondent husband sought to set aside the marriage contract, claiming inadequate financial disclosure, lack of understanding, duress, and unconscionability, or alternatively, rectification of a unilateral mistake regarding his entitlement to the matrimonial home's increased value.
The court dismissed the respondent's claims, finding he was aware of the applicant's assets, received independent legal advice, and faced no duress or exploitation.
The marriage contract was upheld, and the respondent was ordered to pay $85,000 in costs.
