CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Milavic and Banks (No 2)*, the de facto wife sought to set aside a Financial Agreement made on 15 July 2010, pursuant to section 90UM of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The de facto husband opposed this application. The matter came before Macmillan J in the Family Court of Australia.
The central legal issue before the court was whether the Financial Agreement should be set aside. This required the court to consider the grounds upon which such an agreement could be invalidated under the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
Macmillan J dismissed the de facto wife's application to set aside the Financial Agreement. The court's reasoning and the specific legal principles applied in reaching this conclusion are not detailed in the provided extract, beyond the fact that the application was unsuccessful.
The court ordered that the de facto wife's application to set aside the Financial Agreement be dismissed. All other extant applications, except for any concerning costs, were also dismissed, and the matter was removed from the court's pending list. The parties were directed to file written submissions regarding costs.
