Ainsley and Lake

In the matter of *Ainsley and Lake*, heard by Judge Henderson, the dispute concerned an application to set aside a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) entered into by the parties on 1 March 2012.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the BFA should be set aside pursuant to s 90K of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). This required the Court to consider whether there were grounds to invalidate the agreement, such as it being obtained by fraud, duress, or undue influence, or if it was otherwise void or unenforceable.

Judge Henderson found that the BFA was not binding and therefore ordered that it be set aside. The reasoning for this decision, though not detailed in the provided text, would have involved an assessment of the circumstances surrounding the agreement's formation and its compliance with the requirements of the *Family Law Act*.

Consequently, the Court ordered that the Binding Financial Agreement dated 1 March 2012 be set aside.
