‘In BN v MA [2013] EWHC 4250 (Fam) Mostyn J observed:
“[24] … In Granatino v Radmacher the Supreme Court analysed very closely the nature of nuptial agreements. They pointed out that nuptial agreements come in numerous shapes and forms and can be entered into at any point before, during or after a marriage …
[26] The Supreme Court has modified the test for the treatment of these nuptial agreements, as expressed in Edgar and Xydhias and, indeed, in MacLeod, so as to provide one single test applicable to all nuptial agreements, which is this, “The court should give effect to a nuptial agreement that is freely entered into by each party with a full appreciation of its implications unless in the circumstances prevailing it would not be fair to hold the parties to their agreement”. That now is the test to be applied in every case where a nuptial agreement falls for consideration.” ‘

‘One of the changes to the FPR 2010 made when the material parts of the Family Procedure (Amendment No 2) Rules 2023 came into force on 29 April 2024 was an amendment to r 28.3(7) which by the insertion of a new (aa)(ii) makes “any failure by a party, without good reason, to attend non-court dispute resolution” a basis to depart from the general starting point that there should be no order as to costs. This is repeated in para 10E of PD 3A which states “the court may take the parties conduct in relation to attending non-court dispute resolution into account when considering whether to make an order for costs in relation to the proceedings”.’
