Mallet & Vorster

In *Mallet & Vorster*, heard by Young J, the husband sought to have certain orders made in family law proceedings set aside. The wife had filed an application for final property settlement on 19 June 2008, and the husband had filed an application on 19 May 2008 seeking to set aside the orders.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband had established grounds to set aside the existing orders. This involved considering the nature of the applications made by both parties and the basis upon which such orders could be vitiated.

Young J dismissed the husband's application filed on 19 May 2008, and subsequently dismissed his initiating application filed on 19 June 2008. The court ordered that the extempore reasons for judgment be transcribed and placed on the court file for the parties.
