Gently and Gently

In the matter of *Gently and Gently*, heard before Cronin J, the parties sought orders concerning matrimonial property and the conduct of proceedings. The dispute centred on the disposition of various assets, including real estate, a motor vehicle, livestock, and a painting, and the wife's alleged removal and sale of these items.

The court was required to determine whether to grant interim injunctive relief restraining the wife from dealing with matrimonial property and to order the disclosure of information regarding specific assets. Additionally, the court considered the appropriate procedural steps for resolving the dispute, including the necessity of a conciliation conference and the allocation of the case for trial.

Cronin J, by consent of the parties, made orders restraining the wife from selling, disposing of, or diminishing the value of matrimonial property and from removing specific items from designated properties. The wife was also restrained from attending at one of the properties. Furthermore, the wife was ordered to provide detailed particulars and documentation concerning the sale of a prestige motor vehicle, cattle, horses, a motorcycle, a painting, and any other property she had removed. The court also vacated a previously scheduled hearing and ordered the parties to attend a conciliation conference.

The court further ordered that the husband have liberty to apply for enforcement or clarification of the wife's responses and liberty to serve specific questions on the wife regarding the disclosure requirements. The case was placed in the pool for trial allocation, and the wife was ordered to pay the husband's costs fixed at $3000. Other applications by the husband and the wife's response were dismissed.
