‘The long-running legal battle between Mr Potanin and his ex-wife Mrs Potanina has received understandable legal and mainstream media attention. Most recently, a Court of Appeal decision permitted Mrs Potanina to pursue her claim under Part III of the Matrimonial Causes Act for financial relief further to an overseas divorce. This case is undoubtedly sensational due to Mr Potanin’s wealth and, by extension, the value of the litigation, estimated by some to be $30bn. It is also a case that has put a renewed spotlight on the willingness and ability of the courts in England and Wales to permit Part III claims.’
