Harris and Walters

This matter concerned an application by Mr Harris (the husband) seeking enforcement of an earlier court order against Ms Walters (the wife). The dispute revolved around the wife's obligation to transfer a security deposit held in her name at St George Bank.

The central legal issue before Ryan J was whether the wife had complied with the court's previous orders made on 30 November 2009, specifically Order 5.6, which directed her to take all necessary steps to transfer the security deposit to P Pty Ltd or as otherwise directed by the husband.

Ryan J found that the wife had not yet complied with the prior order. Consequently, His Honour ordered that the wife must forthwith take all necessary actions and execute all required documents to effect the transfer of the security deposit from her name to the name of P Pty Ltd, or as otherwise directed by the husband.
