Garrett and Cowell

In the matter of *Garrett and Cowell*, heard by Loughnan JR, the wife sought orders restraining the husband from encumbering or dealing with his interest in a property located in New South Wales. The dispute concerned the husband's potential actions regarding this asset pending further proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant an interlocutory injunction to restrain the husband from dealing with his interest in the specified property. This involved assessing the wife's entitlement to such an order to preserve the asset.

Loughnan JR ordered that the proceedings be adjourned to a Judicial Registrar’s Call-over on 12 February 2008. Until 6:00 pm on that date, the husband was restrained from encumbering or dealing with his interest in the property at C… in New South Wales, including drawing further upon a mortgage granted to Perpetual Limited. The court also made directions regarding service of the orders and the filing and service of documents by the parties, setting a deadline of close of business on 8 February 2008 for such filings. Leave was granted for the husband or any interested party to restore the proceedings to the list on giving 24 hours' notice.
