Standish v Standish This case could redefine how matrimonial and non-matrimonial assets are treated in divorce proceedings. Let's get into it! On April 30, 2025, the UK Supreme Court began hearing the appeal of Standish v Standish. The core issue? Whether £80 million in assets transferred by Mr. Standish to Mrs. Standish before their divorce should be considered matrimonial (shared) or non-matrimonial (ring-fenced) property. I explain the facts of the case in this video. The Supreme Court's judgment is eagerly awaited. It will clarify when non-matrimonial assets can be subjected to the "sharing principle," a concept established in the landmark case of Miller v Miller; McFarlane v McFarlane (2006). This principle dictates that matrimonial property should be divided equally between spouses, but there's been ambiguity around non-matrimonial assets. In White v White (2000), an earlier landmark decision in English family law, the House of Lords emphasised fairness and non-discrimination in asset division, setting a precedent that the name on the asset shouldn't determine its division. This case laid the groundwork for the sharing principle. It involved a couple, Martin White and Pamela White, who were both farmers and married in 1961. They continued farming in equal partnership after their marriage, and their farming business was a tremendous success. They acquired more assets, including Rexton Farm, which were held jointly. Following the breakdown of their marriage, Pamela White petitioned for divorce in 1994 and applied for ancillary relief. The judge found that the net assets were £4.6 million, of which £1.5 million belonged to Pamela White. Despite all assets being jointly owned, the simplest solution proposed by Pamela White was to share the assets to enable them to continue farming but as sole traders, not in partnership. The Supreme Court's decision in Standish v Standish will have far-reaching implications for pre-nuptial planning and intra-spousal transfers. It will provide much-needed guidance on how non-matrimonial assets should be treated in divorce proceedings, potentially influencing future cases and financial settlements.

Standish vs Standish
Let’s explore another avenue of my favourite topic, AI - today we're diving into the fascinating world of AI-generated art and the viral trend known as the "Ghibli effect." 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 Imagine transforming your photos, text descriptions, or even videos into the enchanting art style of Studio Ghibli, the legendary Japanese animation studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki. This trend has taken social media by storm, allowing users to create stunning, Ghibli-inspired artwork with just a few clicks. Let's explore the legalities around this. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 While the Ghibli effect captivates many, it also raises important questions: 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀: Experts warn that sharing personal photos with AI tools can compromise user privacy. Once uploaded, these photos can be used to train AI models, potentially leading to unauthorized use or data breaches. 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀: The use of AI to generate art has sparked debates about the ethical implications, including the potential impact on the livelihoods of traditional artists and animators. 𝗠𝗶𝘆𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗸𝗶'𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹: Hayao Miyazaki himself has expressed strong disapproval of AI in animation, calling it "an insult to life itself" and stating that he would never incorporate such technology into his work. Despite these concerns, the Ghibli effect continues to blend the magic of Studio Ghibli's art with modern AI technology, captivating people. Alongside the Ghibli effect, we've seen Barbie-inspired "dollbox" selfies, showcasing the creative potential of AI but also raising significant questions about the control and ownership of famous artistic styles. 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 In Japan, lawmakers are debating whether AI-generated art that replicates Ghibli's unique style should be prohibited, highlighting the complexities of intellectual property in the age of AI. Similarly, Mattel, the company behind Barbie, is vigilant in protecting its trademarks and has a history of taking legal action against unauthorized uses of its iconic doll's image. The U.S. Copyright Office has weighed in, stating that AI-created images cannot be copyrighted unless a human adds creative input. This ongoing debate is further complicated by legal cases such as Getty Images suing Stability AI for using over 12 million licensed photos without permission. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝘁 Being informed about copyright laws, trademark protections, and potential legal disputes is essential to ensure that their creations are both innovative and legally compliant.

The Magic Behind the Ghibli Effect
I recently visited Greece with my golfing friends to play at the 4 beautiful Costa Navarino courses. During one of our rounds, I met an 82-year-old golfer with an impressive 2 handicap. We struck up an engaging conversation about the numerous life experiences and friendships that the game of golf has gifted us over the years. This gentleman was a former banker, and I, a lawyer. While playing golf for business may seem like a cliché, spending 4 or more hours on a golf course with colleagues, bosses, or clients can reveal a lot about a person's character. Observing how they play, respect their opponents, handle various situations, and make decisions, you can gain insights into how they live their lives and conduct their business. The golf rulebook makes honesty non-negotiable. Golf's first rule demands that players "act with integrity... applying all penalties and being honest in all aspects of play." Since no referee shadows every golfer, the game relies on self-enforcement, a norm of the USGA: "There are not many games that depend upon the honesty of the player." Golf's valuable lessons that extend beyond the course: - Develop a strategy or at least attempt to have one - Evaluate the wind, the lie, and the hazards ahead - Understand your personal strengths and limits - Weigh risks versus rewards - Own your mistakes and avoid the blame game - Respect your opponents' concentration - Care for the course These habits spill over into business and personal life. Additionally, golf's feedback loop trains the gut. Every mishit provides immediate data, teaching you to bounce back quickly without letting one bad shot—or a failed deal—derail long-term objectives. The mental reset required on each new tee box translates to resilient decision-making. Despite the 82-year-old golfer being much older and wiser than me, our shared love for the game created an instant connection, breaking down any barriers that may have otherwise existed.

Recently, I was at an event of Al-Futtaim / Al-Futtaim Automotive where I saw and was pleasantly surprised by the #EV by #BYD. BYD has become a major player in the electric vehicle market, surpassing Tesla in sales and generating significant revenue through affordable pricing and technological innovation. • Resilience Against Tariffs: Despite #tariffs imposed by the US and EU, BYD maintains competitiveness by leveraging cost advantages and in-house production capabilities, allowing it to sell EVs at lower prices. • Future Outlook for BYD: The company plans to expand exports to tariff-friendly regions and potentially establish manufacturing plants in Mexico or Brazil to mitigate tariff impacts.
