The dispute revolved around a dispute regarding the ownership of a property and the validity of a transfer deed. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Queensland. The primary legal issue was whether the court had the jurisdiction to set aside the proceedings under section 81 of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (Qld).
