Wife who claimed €3.8m payment from husband was too low loses appeal

She alleged the High Court failed to properly take into account "egregious" misconduct by him.

A separated wife has lost her appeal alleging a €3.8m lump sum her ex-husband was ordered to pay to her was too low.

The woman claimed the sum, alleged to represent up to 12% of the man's assets, was not "proper provision" under the Family Law Act 1995 and Judicial Separation and Family Law Reform Act 1989.
