Berrell and Berrell

In the matter of *Berrell and Berrell*, Kent J considered an application concerning the division of property. The dispute involved the retrospective valuation of two properties, one located at A Drive, Suburb G, and another described as the H property, as at April 2003. The wife also sought leave to present a report and evidence from an expert witness, Mr B.

The court was required to determine whether the costs of retrospective valuations of the specified properties should be shared equally between the parties. Additionally, the court had to decide whether to grant the wife permission to tender a report and adduce evidence from Mr B as an expert witness.

Kent J ordered that the parties share the costs of the retrospective valuations equally. The application by the wife for permission to tender the report and adduce evidence from Mr B as an expert witness was dismissed. The costs associated with these applications were reserved to the trial judge.
