Hows about this for unfair: Jayne Hewett, mother of two, took out a remortgage on her family home to pay off her husbands credit card debts. Nothing to shocking there, but while Mrs Hewett was remortgaging the property, her husband was having a secret affair.
He then left her to repay the mortgage alone and raise their kids while went he went bankrupt. As a result of the following divorce, the house was signed over to Mrs Hewett but she was unable to make the repayments. Her lender, First Plus Financial Group moved in for repossession but Justice Briggs of the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Mrs Hewett saying that Mr Hewett was guilty of a ‘deliberate concealment’. Under the conditions of the ruling, if First Plus Financial Group do repossess the house, Mrs Hewett should be able to keep half of the quick house sale price.
