Acharya and Bhatt

In the matter of *Acharya and Bhatt*, Loughnan J considered an application by the wife for interim spousal maintenance and injunctive relief concerning the husband's property. The dispute centred on the wife's need for financial support and the husband's management of his assets, particularly a property located at B Street, Suburb C, N.S.W.

The court was required to determine whether to grant interim spousal maintenance to the wife and, if so, in what amount. Additionally, the court had to consider whether to impose injunctions restraining the husband from selling or further encumbering his B Street property and from operating a specific line of credit account, other than for specified purposes.

Loughnan J made orders in terms of the husband's proposed short minutes. These included discharging a previous order, restraining the husband from selling the B Street property, and placing specific limitations on his ability to offer the property as security or operate his Viridian Line of Credit account. The court also ordered the husband to pay interim spousal maintenance of $1,800 per month to the wife. The wife's further amended application and any responding interim documents were otherwise dismissed, with costs reserved and a conciliation conference ordered.
