Goey and Goey

In the matter of *Goey and Goey*, Berman J considered an application concerning the discharge of an injunction and the disbursement of funds from a joint bank account. The dispute involved the wife's assertion that the husband had improperly accessed, disbursed, or transferred a significant sum of money, totalling $1,470,000, through various transactions and withdrawals.

The court was required to determine the extent to which an existing injunction should be discharged, and how funds held in a specific joint account should be disbursed. A further issue was the need to obtain expert evidence regarding the wife's allegations of the husband's financial dealings.

Berman J ordered the discharge of the injunction, save for $10,000 and the further consent of the parties. The court directed specific disbursements from the joint account, including lump sum spousal maintenance for the wife, payment of outstanding taxation for the husband, and further sums to be paid to each party via their respective solicitors' trust accounts. Additionally, the parties were ordered to jointly instruct a single expert to prepare a report addressing the wife's claim concerning the husband's alleged access, disbursement, or transfer of $1,470,000.
