BP & KS

The case of *BP & KS* concerned an application for leave to appeal a decision of the Family Court of Australia. The applicants, BP and KS, sought to challenge an order made by a judge of that court.

The primary legal issue before the Full Court of the Family Court was whether the primary judge erred in law in making the orders under appeal. This involved a consideration of the evidence presented and the application of relevant provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) to the facts of the case.

Warnick J, delivering the judgment of the Full Court, found that the primary judge had not erred in law. The reasoning focused on the proper construction and application of the statutory framework governing property settlement in the context of the evidence before the court. The Full Court affirmed the principles of property adjustment under the *Family Law Act*, emphasising the broad discretion afforded to the primary judge in considering all relevant circumstances.

Leave to appeal was therefore dismissed.
