Devopoulos and Devopoulos

In *Devopoulos and Devopoulos*, Loughnan J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the division of property and the execution of necessary documents. The dispute involved the disbursement of funds held in a controlled moneys account and a trust account, the ownership of a motor vehicle, and the division of other personalty.

The court was required to determine how the funds held by the solicitors were to be distributed, who was the legal and equitable owner of a specific motor vehicle, and how other items of personal property in the possession of each party were to be treated. The court also needed to make provision for the execution of documents to give effect to its orders.

Loughnan J ordered that specific sums be paid from the controlled moneys account and trust account, with the balance to be paid to the wife. The wife was declared the sole legal and equitable owner of a Toyota Corolla, and each party was declared the sole owner of other personalty in their possession. The court further ordered that the parties sign all necessary documents to give effect to these orders, and in the event of refusal or neglect, appointed the Registrar or Deputy Registrar to execute such documents pursuant to section 106A of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). Leave was granted to either party to restore the proceedings to the list within 21 days concerning the wording of the orders.
