No agreement in McCartney divorce | |
(10 minutes later) | |
Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills have failed to reach agreement over a financial settlement in their High Court divorce case. | |
The settlement will be decided at a later date by Mr Justice Bennett after he reserved judgement on the case. | |
It has been suggested the financial settlement could break records. | |
Divorce experts have suggested that, based on recent cases, Ms Mills could walk away with £60m of Sir Paul's estimated £825m. | Divorce experts have suggested that, based on recent cases, Ms Mills could walk away with £60m of Sir Paul's estimated £825m. |
That would make it the biggest settlement of its kind in a British court. | |
The current record rests with businessman John Charman who was ordered to pay £48m to his ex-wife last year. | |
But the details of the McCartneys' settlement may never be known to the outside world. | |
Any financial settlement will not be made public unless the case goes to the Court of Appeal. | |
Ms Mills, who lost part of a leg in a road accident in 1993, married Sir Paul in June 2002, four years after first wife, Linda, died of breast cancer. | |
The couple announced the end of their marriage in 2006. |
