This matter concerned orders made by Judicial Registrar Loughnan in relation to property settlement between a husband and wife. The dispute involved the division of various assets, including real estate, superannuation interests, vehicles, and personal property, as well as the allocation of debts.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the property settlement, including the transfer of a property located at C in New South Wales from the wife to the husband, the payment of a sum of money from the husband to the wife, and the division of a superannuation fund. Additionally, the court needed to address the collection of personal items from the C property by the wife and the entitlements of each party to other assets and liabilities.

The Judicial Registrar applied principles of property adjustment under the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The orders provided for the wife to transfer her interest in the C property to the husband in exchange for a payment of $314,000 and the discharge of a mortgage. The court also made specific provisions for the division of a superannuation fund, requiring the trustee to calculate and pay the wife's entitlement. The orders detailed the division of other assets, including vehicles, shares, and bank accounts, and stipulated that each party would remain liable for their own debts, with an indemnity provided to the other. In the event of non-compliance by the husband with his payment obligations, the orders outlined a process for the sale of the C property, with the proceeds to be distributed in a specified order of priority. Finally, the orders empowered a Registrar to execute documents on behalf of a party who refused or neglected to do so.
