"Accidental Divorce: Judge Upholds Mistaken Split Due to Legal Tech Error"

A London law firm accidentally finalized a divorce for a couple due to a misclick, leading to a legal battle to reverse the order. Despite efforts to undo the divorce, a judge ruled that a final divorce order should stand if there was no procedural irregularity, advising the wife to seek remedy through negligence action against her solicitors. The law firm's head disagreed with the ruling, arguing that the state should not be divorcing people based on a clerical error and emphasizing the need for intention in the divorce process.
