In the ruling seen by the Telegraph, in which Mr Mann is referred to as H for husband and Mrs Mann as W for wife, Lady Justice Macur said: “The stated perception of H [Mr Mann] during the first instance proceedings that Mostyn J [judge] has 'made up his mind about [H’s] ability to pay’ is objectively confirmed by the intemperate judicial dialogues recorded in the transcripts of the proceedings between February and June 2014. During that time Mostyn J’s frustration is palpable and clearly arises from his obvious belief that H is deliberately and maliciously avoiding his legal and moral responsibilities to W [Mrs Mann].”
