‘The Court of Appeal’s recent decision in Kanabar v Kanabar [2026] EWCA Civ 582 determined that where party had died after issuing an appeal, but where no person was willing to become a personal representative to pursue the appeal on behalf of the estate, the appeal should be dismissed pursuant to FPR rule 30.10. This case provides a convenient opportunity to review the law and practice governing the situation where a party to divorce and financial remedy proceedings dies.’
St John's Chambers, 2nd June 2026
