It seems like the husband was quite ok with the accident, hence the ruling:
> Mr Williams' legal representatives argued a final order of divorce is a "once-and-for-all" order, which cannot be set aside by the consent of the parties and may only be rescinded by the court if found to be either void or voidable.
It isn't like two other random people that didn't want to be were accidentally divorced.
- CRConrad 3y ago> It isn't like two other random people that didn't want to be were accidentally divorced. Arguably, yes, that is exactly what happened here: If the lawyer intended to do this for some other couple and only did it for this one by mistake, then the couple that were divorced now are the "two other random people". (And as for "didn't want to be", isn't that what this whole system with preliminary application, waiting period, and final application is for? As long as you haven't made the final application, then no, it isn't regarded as, well, final that you really want to go through with it.)
