MURRAY & MURRAY

In the matter of *Murray & Murray*, the husband and wife were parties to family law proceedings concerning financial matters. The dispute before the court involved an application for an interim financial injunction. The decision was made by Watts J.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant an interim injunction to restrain the husband from dealing with certain funds and to compel the transfer of those funds into a quarantined account. This involved considering the appropriate orders to preserve assets pending the final determination of the financial proceedings.

Watts J ordered that the husband take all necessary steps to transfer the balance of a Commonwealth Bank account held by I Pty Limited and a Commonwealth Bank account held in his own name to a specified "Murray Quarantined Account". The court further ordered that, pending further order or written agreement, the wife be restrained from withdrawing or otherwise dealing with these transferred funds. The publication of the judgment under the pseudonym *Murray & Murray* was approved by the Chief Justice under section 121(9)(g) of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
