Financial Remedy Orders & ‘Add-Back’ - Tactics & Tips for Family Lawyers

Introduction

The principle of ‘add-back’ is often discussed within financial remedy cases. It is a principle when one party will seek a re-attribution of (some or all) funds that one party has allegedly taken from the matrimonial assets and resources. It continues to be one of the most complex and evolving areas of financial remedy law. This webinar is designed specifically for family law professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of when the court may add back dissipated assets, the evidential hurdles involved and the practical considerations that influence judicial decision-making.

The webinar will also explore the latest developments in the case law, analysing recent authorities and their impact on the courts' approach to add-back claims. Whether you are an experienced practitioner looking to refresh your knowledge or a junior lawyer developing your expertise, this webinar will provide practical guidance, strategic insight and essential updates to support your day-to-day practice.
