WAR - How do divorces with prenups work in UK?
A large part of this show seems to hinge on the change in circumstance and how Morgan’s company is worth a lot more than when the prenup was signed. Can someone explain in British law why that matters and is sufficient to overturn a prenuptual agreement? I don’t really understand how the law works here and also why the lawyers seem to care so much about story telling and emotion - are arbiters that easily swayed? I always assumed arbitration was generally very aligned to contract law and had the least likelihood of any legal process of deviating from contracts which is in part (along with expediency and cost) why ppl (oftentimes corporation) insist upon it vs trials.
