An English businessman has lost an anonymity fight after a judge said he had been dishonest during a divorce court dispute with his Russian ex-wife.
Bella Bloom, 29, said a judge should publish three rulings made following hearings in the Central Family Court in London – and name names.
Her former husband Baron Bloom, 44, disagreed.

Recorder Nicholas Cusworth has ruled against Mr Bloom and published rulings he made following hearings in 2017 and 2018.
The judge said parties involved in divorce court cash disputes had a duty to provide ‘full and frank’ disclosure of information.
He said Mr Bloom had ‘actively undermined and ignored that duty by continued dishonesty throughout the proceedings’.
The judge said he was satisfied that his rulings should be made public.
The pair had married in 2011 and divorced in 2016, and had lived in a £1.3 million flat in South Kensington, which Ms Bloom’s parents had bought for them.
Besides their home in London, Ms Bloom’s parents also bought the couple a £2.1 million villa in Antibes, reports The Times.
The judge had ordered Mr Bloom to pay more than £500,000 to his ex-wife following the breakdown of their marriage.
Rulings have been published on a legal website.
