BRATIC & BRATIC

In the matter of *BRATIC & BRATIC*, Hannam J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning the sale of a property. The dispute involved an applicant husband and a respondent wife, with the court being asked to make orders regarding the disposition of a property located at B Street, Suburb C.

The primary legal issue before the court was how to facilitate the sale of the Suburb C property. This involved determining the method of sale, the appointment of an agent, and the responsibility for associated costs. The court was also required to consider the provision of a valuation for the property as part of the sale process.

Hannam J ordered the discharge of a previous order dated 2 June 2014. The court then directed the respondent wife to take all necessary steps within 14 days to instruct the President of the Real Estate Institute of New South Wales to appoint an independent real estate agent to sell the Suburb C property by private treaty. Furthermore, the applicant husband was ordered to ensure that the company D Pty Ltd, trading as E Pty Ltd, would cover the costs of this appointment as they became due. The appointed agent was also directed to provide a valuation of the property for the purposes of the sale.
