Little point in chasing rabbits down holes. Wait to see what documentary evidence is forthcoming from those making the claim. Remember onus is entirely on them. 

I agree with this

Presumably a Subject Access Request. Under the law on data protection you have a right to see the information that organisations hold about you. I agree with Thrugelmir that doing this would be unnecessary.

Data Subject Access Request - ICO calls it SAR so probably simpler to call it that

Thanks, there is nothing to request to see though as nothing ever existed, it is a made up claim

regarding waiting for evidnce, when would i get to see any evidence? Is that when we both send in our statements?

If they said it was to buy a house the the solicitor dealing with the clients (OP) at the time are legally obliged to make money laundering checks on the "gift".

And you might want to point out that if this was a loan and these checks weren't done because your ex withheld the information, then you will be forwarding any documentation they provide to the court to the lender so they can proceed with a fraud investigation against your ex.

Thanks all for your replies

I have not followed up on the cheque as the account was closed some time ago so I don't think it would be possible to go back for it

I would call and ask them, so you can tell the court that you tried to obtain the information and failed.
There is also the potential that they still hold the information, although there might be a cost in them sending it out.
If you find out now that it was paid into the joint account then you can downplay that in the argument, if it was her name only you can use it to your advantage
