Dinunca and Rhodes and Ors

The proceedings before Cronin J involved the applicant, Dinunca, and the respondents, Rhodes and others. The dispute concerned the division of property, specifically the proceeds of sale of the C Hotel and interests in various hotel trusts. The orders indicate a consent determination of these matters.

The court was required to make orders concerning the distribution of sale proceeds from the C Hotel, the transfer of interests in several hotel trusts, and the entitlements of the second and third respondents to various assets. The orders also addressed the division of other property, the severance of joint tenancies, and the retention of life insurance policies.

By consent, the court ordered that $55,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the C Hotel be paid to the third respondent, with the balance to the applicant. The third respondent was also ordered to transfer his interests in several hotel trusts, including the B Hotel, to the applicant. The second respondent was declared solely entitled to property in her possession, with joint tenancies severed, and she was to retain the benefit of life insurance policies. All extant applications involving the second respondent were dismissed. Furthermore, each party was to be solely entitled to other property owned or possessed by them, with liabilities to be indemnified. All applications between all parties were otherwise dismissed.
