CaseChat Overview and Summary
This matter concerned an application by the wife in *Craft and Craft*, heard by Judge Brown. The dispute revolved around the division of the parties' jointly owned property and various assets following their separation. The application proceeded undefended by the husband.
The court was required to determine how the remaining proceeds of sale from the parties' jointly owned property at Property T in South Australia should be distributed. Additionally, the court needed to make orders regarding the sole entitlement of each party to specific assets, including superannuation policies, personalty, chattels, motor vehicles, and bank account balances.
Judge Brown ordered that the proceeds of sale from the Property T property be applied first to the parties' outstanding electricity and gas liabilities to Energy Australia. The balance of these proceeds was to be paid to the mother via her solicitors. The wife was granted sole entitlement to her superannuation policies, personalty, chattels, and motor vehicles in her possession, as well as any bank account balances in her name. The husband was granted sole entitlement to personalty and chattels in his possession. The wife was also given liberty to dispose of a specific motor vehicle. All other applications were dismissed.
