Fraser and Newton

In the matter of *Fraser and Newton*, Judge Sexton considered applications by both the Husband and the Wife. The Husband sought a stay of certain orders, while the Wife sought summary dismissal of the Husband's application. The core of the dispute revolved around the enforcement of previous property orders made on 13 October 2015.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the Husband's application for a stay of the existing property orders and whether to grant the Wife's application for summary dismissal of the Husband's proceedings. Additionally, the court needed to address the consequences of the Husband's potential default in complying with the outstanding payment obligations.

Judge Sexton dismissed the Husband's application for a stay, thereby upholding the existing property orders. The court ordered the Husband to pay the outstanding amount to the Wife within 30 days, with interest. In the event of default, the Husband was directed to take all necessary steps to list a specific property for auction within 7 days. The proceeds of sale were to be disbursed in a specified order of priority, with the Wife's entitlement being a priority payment. The Wife's application for summary dismissal was also dismissed, indicating that the Husband's underlying application would proceed. The court also made directions regarding the filing and service of costs applications and listed the Husband's section 79A application for mention.
