The Supreme Court has ruled that parties in matrimonial disputes cannot withdraw from a mutually agreed divorce settlement reached through mediation, once the terms have been formally recorded and acted upon, reinforcing the binding nature of such agreements and warning that any deviation would attract heavy costs.
