Llewellyn and Llewellyn

In *Llewellyn and Llewellyn*, the applicant wife and respondent husband sought orders from the court concerning the division of their property. The dispute centred on the equitable distribution of assets and liabilities acquired during the marriage.

The court was required to determine how the parties' various assets and liabilities, including a motor vehicle, a loan agreement, bank accounts, superannuation, and real property, should be divided. The court also had to consider the appropriate orders regarding the costs of the proceedings.

The court ordered that the respondent husband pay the applicant wife $22,000 within one month as a property settlement. The respondent was declared the owner of a specific Nissan motor vehicle and was to assume responsibility for the associated loan agreement, with the applicant required to take steps to facilitate this transfer. The orders further stipulated that, with specific exceptions, each party would retain sole entitlement to other property in their name or possession, joint bank account monies would become the respondent's property, and each party would forgo claims to the other's superannuation. Joint tenancies were severed, and each party was to bear their own costs.
