Busch and Dyer

In the matter of *Busch and Dyer*, heard by Judge Burchardt, the dispute concerned the division of property and the occupation of the former matrimonial home. The wife was ordered to vacate the property by a specified date, with a warrant of possession to issue in default.

The court was required to determine the orders concerning the division of various assets and liabilities of the parties. This included the ownership of items in the possession of each party, superannuation benefits, insurance policies, bank accounts, and any jointly held real or personal estate. The court also addressed the issue of liability for any encumbrances on the property allocated to each party.

The court ordered that each party was to be the sole legal and beneficial owner of property in their respective possession, custody, or control, and each party was to forgo claims to the other's superannuation benefits. Insurance policies were to become the sole property of the named owner, and monies in bank accounts were to belong to the party holding them. Each party was to be solely liable for and indemnify the other against any liabilities encumbering property they received, and any joint tenancies were expressly severed.
