Lambert divorce case in 2002[edit]

Unmentioned in this article is that Lord Justice Thorpe presided over the appeal against the divorce settlement between Harry and Shan Lambert. In an FT article on the divorce of Sir Martin Sorrell:

Sir Martin, the founder of the WPP advertising empire, has been ordered to pay his ex-wife Sandra a settlement worth almost £30m, one of the biggest in English legal history. But lawyers said the High Court ruling was a victory for Sir Martin as he managed to secure about 60 per cent of the couple's assets. Judges have been increasingly inclined to give wives increased settlements and there has been a legal presumption of a 50–50 asset split.
It is the first time a judge has decided against an even split in a big-money case since an influential ruling in 2002 in effect gave equality to non-working wives.
...
It was the divorce case of newspaper tycoon Harry Lambert that established that the courts should rate the homemaker's role equal to the breadwinner's in deciding settlements. Shan Lambert was awarded half of the family's £20m fortune — which derived from Adscene, a company publishing free newspapers set up by her husband when she appealed against an initial £7.5m award. Before that, husbands had successfully argued that their "stellar" business performances entitled them to more than a half share.
In the Lambert judgment, Lord Justice Thorpe left only the slimmest chance of unequal shares, saying: "Special contribution remains a legitimate possibility but only in exceptional circumstances."

Given this is a principle in the divorce law of England and Wales, it should certainly be included here. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 14:08, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
