Abstract:
This case comment discusses WUP v WUQ [2024] SGHCF 15, a High Court decision on ancillary matters where a spouse who did not participate in the proceedings was not given a penalty for repeatedly flouting the court’s directions. The High Court also found against her for bringing “nothing but grief” to the marriage, and only granted her an award of $5,000 as lump sum maintenance with no share in the division of matrimonial assets.
