A couple were divorced by mistake after a computer error at a family law firm.

A staff member at Vardag's accidentally opened the file of a couple referred to in court papers as Mr and Mrs Williams, when trying to apply for a final divorce order for a different client.

Vardag's applied three days later to rescind the order but judge Sir Andrew McFarlane dismissed the application.

The firm's head Ayesha Vardag said the judge's decision effectively meant "the computer says no, you're divorced".

The judge's logic is about as sound as Fandom's admins treating literally any picture as potentially hornyposting, so obviously he made the right call.

Reminder for the mods: Reporting news of a legal snafu is NOT POLITICS.
Have a nice day! :)
