Morcomb and Lennox

In *Morcomb and Lennox*, heard by Judge Brewster, the dispute concerned the division of property between the parties. The applicant sought an order for the respondent to pay a sum of money, with a consequential transfer of the applicant's interest in a property.

The court was required to determine the appropriate method for dividing the parties' assets, specifically addressing the applicant's interest in a property and the associated mortgage liability. The court also had to consider an alternative arrangement should the respondent be unable or unwilling to meet the primary financial obligation.

Judge Brewster ordered the respondent to pay the applicant $500,000 within 60 days. Upon this payment, the applicant's interest in the property was to be transferred to the respondent, and the applicant was to be released from all mortgage liability. If the respondent failed to make this payment, the property was to be sold, with the net proceeds divided 33% to the applicant and 67% to the respondent. Each party was also to retain the chattels and choses in action in their possession or name.
