F v F

In the matter of *F v F*, Treyvaud J considered an application to set aside and vary previous orders concerning property interests and spousal maintenance. The dispute involved financial arrangements between a husband and wife, with the court being asked to reconsider aspects of an order made on 8th August 1990.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether to set aside a specific paragraph of the original order and, if so, what substituted orders should be made regarding property settlement and spousal maintenance. The court was also required to determine the husband's applications filed in May and November 1994, and the wife's cross-application filed in August 1994.

Treyvaud J set aside paragraph 5 of the 8th August 1990 order, substituting it with orders for the husband to pay the wife $725,250.00 by way of alteration of property interests and a lump sum of $1,000,000.00 as retrospective spousal maintenance, deemed operative from 8th August 1990. The court also varied paragraph 8 of the original order to reflect these new sums. The husband's applications were dismissed, while certain paragraphs of the wife's cross-application were adjourned with liberty to apply for hearing. No order was made as to costs, but the court certified the matter as proper for the attendance of counsel for the wife.
