British court ruling boosts validity of pre-nuptial deals
The ruling marks a potential turning point in the legal battle over pre-nuptial agreements in England, where courts have generally refused to recognise them as valid, binding agreements.
Nicholas Phillips, president of the Supreme Court, said the judges decided by an 8-1 margin to let stand an earlier Appeals Court ruling that the pre-nuptial agreement in this case was fair and should be applied.
