Judge rules on divorce money battle between Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton

In October, Judge Martin O’Dwyer analysed evidence in the dispute between Liam and Nicole – who are both in their forties – over several days at a private hearing in the Central Family Court in London.

Limits have been placed on what the public can be told about the case – and lawyers are now scheduled to debate what parts, if any, of Judge O’Dwyer’s ruling can be made public.

Judge O’Dwyer announced that he had made a ruling when analysing the latest stage of the litigation at a hearing in the Central Family Court today.

In October, a High Court judge had also analysed issues around reporting the hearing before Judge O’Dwyer – and ruled that little detail could be revealed.

Mr Justice Mostyn said Liam, a former member of Oasis, and Nicole, a singer with the group All Saints, had been forced to provide financial information on the basis that it would remain private.

He said most financial information aired at the private hearing in October before Judge O’Dwyer would have been “compulsorily extracted” and should stay private.

Liam and Nicole had both attended the October hearing before Judge O’Dwyer and were photographed arriving at court. Neither was at today’s hearing.

Another judge, District Judge Anne Aitken, had ended the couple’s six-year marriage more than a year ago – granting a decree nisi at a Family Court hearing in London in April 2014.
