Chapman and Chapman

In the matter of *Chapman and Chapman*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned interim applications made by the parties in family law proceedings. The specific orders made by the court related to the sale of a Porsche motor vehicle and the disposition of its sale proceeds, as well as the dismissal of other interim applications pending further judicial allocation.

The primary legal issue before the court was the appropriate interim disposition of a significant asset, the Porsche motor vehicle, and the resolution of ancillary interim applications. The court was required to determine how the asset should be dealt with pending final resolution of the substantive proceedings.

Cronin J ordered that the parties forthwith take all necessary steps to sell the Porsche motor vehicle. Upon settlement of the sale, any encumbrance on the vehicle was to be discharged, with the net proceeds to be retained by the wife. All other interim applications were dismissed, and the conciliation conference scheduled for 30 January 2012 was vacated, with final orders to await allocation to a judicial docket.
