The Supreme Court has delivered a landmark ruling that divorcing husbands cannot protect their assets by signing them over to companies - a practice described as a "cheat's charter" by some lawyers. The case involved the high profile couple, Michael and Yasmin Prest. Last year the High Court ordered that Mrs Prest should receive 17.5m as part of the couple's divorce settlement. Mr Prest appealed, saying that the assets belonged to three of his companies and could not be touched. The Court of Appeal ruled in his favour.

My partner has used this firm for 35 years. I used them to conveyance my house 2 years ago, so when I called to request their help with an aspect of the property, I expected an honest response. However, after the first call & promise of a call back they 'lost' my details. When I called again I was promised a call back. It never happened. Presumably they lost my details again.
I will NEVER again approach them for help, and neither will any of my (many) business & personal associates in Pocklington. An appalling, cowardly company which doesn't even have the decency to say no.
