UK divorcee says £7.5m not enough

DIVORCEE Shan Lambert is not entitled to half her ex-husband Harry’s fortune because she did not make an equal contribution to the family business, her husband’s lawyer told Britain’s Court of Appeal yesterday.

UK divorcee says £7.5m not enough

Mrs Lambert, 50, received one of the largest divorce settlements in British legal history over £7.5m but wants another £2.6m in cash.

The woman, who was married for 23 years to the founder of the Adscene newspaper chain, claims she was equally responsible for building up the business which was sold for £20 million.

Last year, Mrs Lambert was awarded the family home worth £1.4m and the accompanying Ringleton Lodge, worth £250,000. She was also allowed to keep assets worth £2.8m and was given a lump sum of £3.2m.
