Conti and Conti

In the matter of *Conti and Conti*, heard before O’Reilly J, the proceedings concerned property settlement between the parties. The court was tasked with making orders under section 79 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) regarding the division of the parties' property.

The central legal issue before the court was the determination of the terms of the property settlement order. This involved considering the financial circumstances of the parties and potentially the impact of third-party interests, as indicated by the court's direction to notify the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation and Centrelink.

O’Reilly J indicated an intention to make orders in the terms of Annexure A, subject to a condition. This condition required the court to provide the orders and reasons for judgment to the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation and Centrelink. The court allowed a period for these bodies to lodge any objection, suggesting that the final orders would be made after this period, unless objections were received. The court's final orders were to list the property proceedings for the pronouncement of the section 79 order on 4 June 2012, contingent on the absence of objections from the notified third parties by 31 May 2012.
