Botsis and Botsis

In the matter of *Botsis and Botsis*, heard before Johns J, the wife sought interim orders concerning property settlement and spousal maintenance. The husband opposed these applications.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the wife had established a sufficient prima facie case to warrant the granting of interim property orders and interim spousal maintenance, and whether the court should exercise its discretion to make such orders.

Johns J dismissed the wife's interim applications, finding that she had not established a sufficient prima facie case to justify the making of interim property orders. The court also found that the wife had not demonstrated a need for interim spousal maintenance, nor had she established that the husband had the capacity to pay it. Consequently, the court declined to exercise its discretion to make the interim orders sought.
