The Supreme Court has granted permission to appeal to the former husband against the decision of the Court of Appeal in Mills v Mills [2017] EWCA Civ 129. Frank Feehan QC of 1 King’s Bench Walk represents the respondent wife, leading Katherine Dunseath of 3PB.
The one ground on which permission has been granted is ‘whether, provision having already been made for the Respondent’s housing costs in the capital settlement, the Court of Appeal erred in taking these into account when raising her periodical payments’. Permission to appeal was refused on all other grounds.
