Melville & Dent (No.2)

In *Melville & Dent (No.2)*, the Honourable Justice Cronin considered orders relating to costs, mortgage arrears, and the sale of real property in the United States. The dispute concerned the financial and property settlement between the husband and wife.

The court was required to determine the terms of the orders concerning the husband's financial obligations, including the payment of costs, the discharge of mortgage arrears, and the facilitation of the sale of a specific property. The court also had to consider the consequences of the husband's potential non-compliance with these orders.

Justice Cronin ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs thrown away by a specified date. Further, the husband was ordered to pay outstanding mortgage arrears on a property and provide evidence of this payment to the wife. The husband was also directed to take all necessary steps to consent to the sale of a property located in the United States, with provisions made for relisting the proceedings if the parties could not agree on the sale terms. Liberty to apply was granted generally, and specific liberty was given to the wife to relist the case on an undefended basis if the husband failed to make proper disclosure or comply with the orders regarding costs, arrears, or the property sale. The court also certified for the attendance of counsel.
