CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Buongiorne and Buongiorne*, heard before Dessau J, the dispute concerned the enforcement of certain provisions within a financial agreement made between the parties. The wife sought to enforce specific clauses of the agreement, which had been entered into on 11 August 2011.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether paragraphs 29 and 30 of the financial agreement should be enforced as an order of the Court. This involved an assessment of the agreement's terms and the parties' intentions regarding its enforceability.

Dessau J ordered that paragraphs 29 and 30 of the s 90C Agreement be enforced as if they were an order of the Court. Furthermore, the husband was ordered to pay the wife the sum of $7,322.32, plus interest calculated in accordance with the *Family Law Rules 2004* (Cth), within 30 days. The wife's solicitors were directed to provide a detailed interest calculation to the husband's solicitors within seven days. Liberty was granted to both parties to apply to the Court on short written notice.
