MALKIN & MALKIN

In the matter of *Malkin & Malkin*, Cronin J made orders concerning a family law dispute between a husband and wife. The wife's application filed on 11 June 2014 was dismissed, with Mr Regan appointed as case guardian for the wife.

The court was required to determine the procedural steps necessary for the resolution of the parties' financial matters. This included the exchange of property valuations, the appointment of a single expert valuer, and the provision of full and frank financial disclosure.

The orders reflect a consent arrangement between the parties. They were directed to exchange written appraisals for three specified properties by 14 July 2014. If agreement on value could not be reached by 21 July 2014, B Valuers was appointed as a single expert to conduct valuations. Further, both parties were ordered to exchange comprehensive financial disclosure by 21 July 2014. The matter was adjourned for further mention, with the parties also intending to participate in private mediation in August 2014.
