Divorce details of Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton to remain secret

A ruling has been handed by a High Court judge that means the financial details of the divorce fight between Liam and Nicole will remain a secret.

Mr Justice Mostyn said "Most of the financial information will have been compulsorily extracted and is subject to the implied undertaking, which is the bedrock of the right to privacy, and which, as I have explained, collaterally binds the observing journalists, and where I find no good reason to release them from its effect,"

Interestingly Liam Gallagher is being represented by solicitor Baroness Fiona Shackleton, who previously represented Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana in 1996, and Sir Paul McCartney in his 2008 divorce from Heather Mills.

It sounds as though things are being dealt with as amicably as possible on both sides, and as much as I would love to know the details of the financials, it is probably best all round that these elements of the case - that we know would make headlines - are being kept under wraps.

Judge Martin O'Dwyer is expected to deliver a ruling on the actual divorce case later in the year.  To read more on the details of this ruling click here for the full article.

It must be ‘Super Like’

The Telegraph covers a funny story this week which reports that in Australia, Tinder have introduced a new feature of ‘Super Liking' someone.  Rather than just swiping right or left, you now swipe those you love into the sky ‘the way your heart leapt the first time you set eyes on their profile picture’.

With only one ‘Super Like’ a day you must choose wisely, as you are showing that individual that you like them more than anyone else you’ve swiped that day!  This sounds like the basis of true love for sure.

Tinder has often been viewed negatively and as superficial - judging people on looks alone. It has previously been condemned as taking the romance out of our lives - but this new feature will perhaps serve to save romance as we swipe to the sky for true love...and who knows, the next step after a Super Like must be marriage!

Sadly the UK has to wait until later this year to express such feelings…oh well.

Vintage Car Divorce Spat

A Ferrari bought for £5.5 million, an Alfa Romeo, a McLaren F1 and McLaren P1 - classic cars amongst others made up a collection worth £20 million!

Following their marriage breakdown, Ms Joy-Morancho lay claim that the cars could be transferred to her as part of a divorce payout.  On the 28th August Sir Peter Singer ruled otherwise - in favour of Mr Joy-Morancho keeping the cars as a separate entity. It was argued and accepted that they were owned by a company with which he 'had links'.

The judge will make a further ruling at a later date about just how much cash is in the pot to be divided between the them, but for now, the car collection is left untouched.

Now I wrote about who got the dog in a blog post last year! - and a case I cited was an example of a husband getting their Mercedes Benz SLK and the wife getting the family pets after their divorce.

Let’s just hope that Ms Joy-Morancho can find value in what may come to her in the overall pot!
