Sir Andrew McFarlane, the president of the family division, explained lawyers had intended to apply for a divorce for another client 'but inadvertently opened the electronic case file in 'Williams v Williams' and proceeded to apply for a final order in that case'.
McFarlane rejected the application to correct the mistaken divorce, emphasizing the public policy interest in respecting the finality of divorce orders and the need to avoid errors by a simple click.
