CASEY & CASEY

In the matter of *Casey & Casey*, Curtain J determined the division of property between a husband and wife following their separation. The dispute concerned the distribution of the net proceeds from the sale of the former matrimonial home, various motor vehicles, chattels, and original family photographs.

The court was required to determine how the net proceeds of the matrimonial home sale should be divided, considering an interim payment already made. Further issues included the allocation of title to specific motor vehicles, the division of household chattels, and the disposition of original family photographs, including the provision for the husband to obtain copies. The court also addressed the entitlement to other property in the possession of each party and the severance of any joint tenancies.

Curtain J ordered that the net proceeds from the sale of the former matrimonial home, after deducting an interim payment, be distributed with 60% to the wife and 40% to the husband. The husband was also ordered to pay $2,750 from his share to the wife for outstanding costs. The husband was granted sole title to the Mazda and Daihatsu vehicles and all tools in his possession, while the wife received sole title to the Suzuki vehicle and most chattels in her possession. Specific items located in storage were to be collected by the husband's agent. The wife was directed to obtain a quote for copying family photographs, which the husband would pay for if he wished to receive them. The husband was restrained from taking any original family photographs from the wife. Finally, each party was declared solely entitled to other property in their possession, solely liable for associated liabilities, and all joint tenancies were severed.
