Politics › Re: Oil Tycoon Michael Prest's Wife Wins Court Divorce Ruling by TarryFour: 4:05pm On Jun 12, 2013 |
This is an important case just concluded few hours ago. Mr. Prest's lawyers Martin Pointer QC had argued that under ‘customary law’ in Nigeria Mr Prest became head of the family with a responsibility to use his late father’s money to look after his four siblings and their children. Mr Pointer argued his company’s assets did not belong to Mr Prest but were ‘held in trust’ for his children and those of his siblings under Nigerian law.
The oil baron claims that his company, Petrodel Resources Ltd, was established in 1992 with £10,000 in start-up capital which was provided by his late father. As a result, under traditional law, his company and assets are not owned entirely by him, but by his extended family; he mainly acts as custodian of the wealth. Martin Pointer disclosed to the court that under customary law in Nigeria, Prest (who is the first-born son of his family) has a historic responsibility to use the family "inheritance" to look after his siblings and their children.
Mr Prest’s brother Michel, has also launched a claim in the Nigerian High Court to declare that Petrodel Resources forms a part of their late father’s estate.
If successful, Mr Prest’s personal wealth would be dramatically reduced.
Mrs Prest has argued that Petrodel is ‘100 per cent owned and controlled’ by her former husband and has told the court it is effectively his ‘alter ego’.
The court heard Mrs Prest was born in England and grew up on the Isle of Man. She met Mr Prest, who was educated in Nigeria, in London and they married in 1993.
They lived in a £4 million home in Bayswater, west London, and the oldest of their children is 14.
The question should have been: In what ways and to what extent have Mr Pest's 'siblings and their children' prior to now been benefiting from this 'family wealth'? [img][/img] |
