Delayed divorce battle: Ecotricity founder Dale Vince's New Age traveller ex-wife wins payout - Telegraph
OK convince me this isn't just a money grab.
A former New Age traveller whose ex-husband became a millionaire more than a decade after they separated has won a cash fight in the Supreme Court.
Kathleen Wyatt wants a payout from Dale Vince - although she did not lodge a claim until nearly 20 years after their divorce.
A judge ruled that her claim should go ahead following a High Court hearing.
Court of Appeal judges overturned that decision, ruling that the claim should be blocked after Mr Vince, 53, complained it had been lodged too late.
But five Supreme Court justices ruled in favour of Ms Wyatt on Wednesday after analysing the case at a hearing in London in December.
