Full and Frank Disclosure in a Matrimonial Contest

In a divorce, all matrimonial assets are liable for division between the parties.

There is a general duty for parties in divorce proceedings to provide a full and frank disclosure of all relevant information within his/her knowledge which is particularly relevant in the context of a division of matrimonial assets. Our Head of Matrimonial Law Practice, Ms Hazell Ng, conducts a detailed analysis on case law to determine what is the scope of "full and frank disclosure" as well as the consequences one may face for failing to provide such disclosure.
