    Victory for Nigerian oil tycoon Michael Prest's wife as 'cheats' charter' overturned in landmark

    Supreme Court divorce case

    Millionaires will not be able to use their businesses to shield their wealth from their spouses

    A Supreme Court ruling on a divorce cash fight between an oil tycoon and his estranged wife could

    have significant implications for couples whose marriages fail, lawyers said today.

    Yasmin Prest had claimed she was entitled to more than Michael Prest was offering.

    She said she should get properties which were assets of companies Mr Prest controlled.

    And the Supreme Court - the highest court in the UK - ruled in her favour at a hearing in London today.

    Supreme Court justices said a number of disputed properties were "held" by Mr Prest's companies but

    were assets to which he was legally "entitled".

    They said in divorce litigation a court could transfer property to a spouse if the other spouse was "entitled" to it.

    And they ruled that properties at the centre of the Prest dispute should be transferred to Mrs Prest.
