Maddigan and Maddigan

In the matter of *Maddigan and Maddigan*, heard before Justice Cronin, the dispute concerned orders relating to property settlement and interim arrangements between the parties. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the need for property division and interim orders, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine a range of issues to facilitate the parties' property settlement and manage their affairs pending final resolution. These included the exclusive occupancy of a real property, arrangements for a boat, financial contributions towards the husband's moving expenses and rental bond, responsibility for mortgage payments, and the valuation of a boat. The court also needed to address the dismissal of interim applications.

The orders made by Justice Cronin were by consent of the parties, reflecting an agreement on the proposed minutes of orders. The court directed that the wife have exclusive occupancy of the real property from a specified date, subject to the husband's liberty to moor his boat there and have reasonable access to it. Both parties were directed to facilitate the draw down of funds for the husband's rental bond and moving expenses. The wife was made solely responsible for mortgage payments on the real property and any increase in liability related to these payments. The parties were also ordered to appoint a single expert witness for the valuation of the boat, with a fallback procedure outlined in the Family Law Rules 2004 if agreement could not be reached. All interim applications were dismissed.
