Grounds of appeal

[14] The appellant contends that the primary judge erred in finding that the respondent had discharged the onus of establishing the matters required under the relevant provision.

[15] It was submitted that his Honour failed to give adequate weight to the evidence of the second witness, and that the findings of fact were not reasonably open on the material before the Court.

[16] The respondent, for its part, submits that no error is disclosed, and that the conclusions reached were well within the range of outcomes available to the primary judge.

Consideration

[17] It is convenient to deal first with the question of construction, as the resolution of that issue informs the remaining grounds advanced by the appellant.

[18] For the reasons that follow, we are of the view that the appeal should be allowed in part and the matter remitted for further determination.

CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Moore & Moore*, Carmody J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between the parties concerning the division of their property. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the general context of property settlement, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was tasked with determining the just and equitable terms of orders to be made in relation to the parties' assets. This involved considering what assets each party should retain or receive as part of the settlement.

Carmody J directed the parties' lawyers to consult within seven days to attempt to reach agreed terms of settlement and file a draft minute of consent orders by 6th February 2008. If agreement could not be reached, the parties were required to exchange and email written submissions regarding the just and equitable terms of orders and their proposed asset division, along with draft orders, to the court by 4.00 pm on 14th February 2008.

Orders

Orders of the court
