Undertaking
A promise made by a party during legal proceedings which can be enforced by law.
Unreasonable behaviour
A fact which can be relied upon in divorce proceedings to show that a marriage has irretrievably broken down. The petitioner must show that the respondent’s behaviour has been so unreasonable that the parties can no longer be expected to live together.
