Benson and Benson (No 3)

In the matter of Benson and Benson (No 3), Gill J of the Family Court of Australia was required to consider proposed orders concerning the division of property. The dispute involved the parties, Benson and Benson, and the court was tasked with determining the appropriate orders to be made in relation to their financial settlement.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to make a specific order, identified as Order 2 in the proposed orders of 7 February 2018. The court's determination on this matter would dictate the final disposition of certain assets or financial arrangements between the parties.

Gill J directed that Order 2, as proposed, was not to be made. This decision indicates that the court found grounds to refuse the specific order as presented, implying that it did not align with the court's assessment of the relevant legal principles or the specific circumstances of the case. The precise reasons for this refusal are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome is a clear rejection of the proposed Order 2.
