The facts in Fisher Meredith v JH and PH (Financial Remedy: Appeal: Wasted Costs) [2012] EWHC 408 (Fam) [2012] All ER (D) 157 (Mar) are the stuff of nightmares. Two working days before a five-day trial, new evidence is served. There is no option but to adjourn the hearing. The adjournment is granted.

In this appeal, Mostyn J gives useful guidance as to the correct approach to the involvement of third parties in applications for a financial remedy.
