HARBROW & BOSTON

In *Harbrow & Boston*, heard by Judge Harland, the applicant sought to have caveats lodged on the titles of Property D and three properties in Property E removed. The central dispute concerned whether the parties were in a de facto relationship.

The court was required to determine whether the parties had been in a de facto relationship for the purposes of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). This determination was crucial for the resolution of the property dispute and the validity of the caveats.

Judge Harland found that the parties were not in a de facto relationship. Consequently, the court ordered the dismissal of the applicant's initiating application. Furthermore, the applicant was directed to remove the caveats from the specified properties at her own expense within seven days of the court's orders.
