Australia’s most expensive divorce wraps up after 14 years and $40 million in legal fees

Australia’s longest and messiest divorce has finally ended after 14 years,
more than 700 documents and $40 million in legal fees.

It was Australia’s longest, messiest and most expensive divorce.

The 14-year saga involved more than 700 documents,
a “vast number” of hearings, 61 separate judgments,
16 law firms and more than $40 million in legal fees.

But the case, akin to Jarndyce and Jarndyce from Charles Dickens’
Bleak House, was finally brought to an end last month with the Family Court
refusing the wife’s bid to have the proceedings reopened so she could
attempt to retain her share in the family trusts and companies.
