Matrimonial proceedings – Variation of maintenance order – Consent order – Substantial change in circumstances – Full and frank disclosure – Financial means – Costs – Application refused. The Court considered whether the Respondent had demonstrated a substantial or material change in circumstances to justify varying a consent maintenance order. The Respondent claimed health issues and financial instability but failed to provide medical evidence and was found to have concealed assets and investments. The Court held the Respondent had sufficient means to pay maintenance and refused the application. The Respondent was ordered to pay costs immediately, while the Petitioner's costs were to be assessed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
