Q
What does the Radmacher divorce case mean for my pre-nuptial agreement? Is it now legally set in stone?
A
It is important not to get too carried away: the Court of Appeal is not saying that Pre-Nuptial Agreements are now actually binding contracts. The law still requires that the courts retain the final say. However, the judges have nailed their colours to the mast.
