Baillieu and Baillieu and Anor

In the matter of Baillieu and Baillieu and Anor, Rees J considered an application by the husband for the sale of a property located at C Street, Suburb D. The wife sought sole occupation of the property and other relief, while the husband had lodged a caveat over the property.

The court was required to determine whether the husband's application for the sale of the property should be granted, the validity and effect of the husband's caveat, and the wife's entitlement to sole occupation of the property. Further issues included the wife's applications for payment of the mortgage and spousal maintenance, and the disclosure of documents relating to E Pty Limited.

Rees J dismissed the husband's application for sale of the property and ordered the husband to withdraw his caveat. The court granted the wife sole occupation of the property and ordered the husband to vacate by a specified date. The wife's applications for mortgage payments and spousal maintenance were also dismissed. The court further ordered the husband to provide extensive financial documentation relating to E Pty Limited and restrained the second respondent from disposing of certain funds.
