Abstract

The High Court in UQP v UQQ [2019] SGHCF 7 has created another exception to the broad-brush approach from ANJ v ANK [2015] 4 SLR 1043 for the division of matrimonial assets by resisting its application to this short dual-income marriage. This case comment argues that the broad-brush approach ought to have been applied to division of the matrimonial home (that is held in the Wife’s sole name) despite it being wholly financed by the wife and her father before and during the marriage. The author proposes that it is perhaps time to reconsider equality as the starting point to have a single test for the division of matrimonial assets.
