High Court Cuts Banker's Prenup Award to £2.37m After Findings of Misconduct

The ruling treats earlier withdrawals as part of his prenup entitlement.

Overview

  • Mr Justice Cusworth reduced Ardal Loh-Gronager’s payout to £2,369,385, down by about £4 million from the sum due under the prenup.
  • He was found to have made regular payments to a new partner from a joint account, including a first £5,000 transfer on November 27, 2022, and a £1 million move on a day his wife was in therapy.
  • The judgment found he created or altered emails to bolster his case, with a conduct deduction of £375,000 applied to the award.
  • Just over £2 million taken from a mortgage account and £655,000 from a joint account and invested in his business were counted toward his entitlement rather than treated as separate property.
  • The court recorded harassment of Wei-Lyn Loh, including a private investigator posing as a journalist and a private Instagram account, and described the affair as an expensively financed relationship parallel to the marriage.
