CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Narkis and Narkis*, heard by Cronin J, the dispute concerned the disposition of a property located at M Street, Suburb N. The husband sought to sell this property, a request that was opposed by the wife. The court was tasked with determining whether to permit the sale of the M Street Property and, if so, how the proceeds should be managed.

The central legal issue before the court was the husband's right to sell the M Street Property, which was subject to existing orders that precluded its sale. The court had to consider the implications of discharging these precluding orders and the appropriate handling of the sale proceeds.

Cronin J reasoned that the existing orders preventing the sale of the M Street Property should be discharged. The court ordered that the husband be granted the right to sell the property. Following the discharge of all sale costs, outstanding liabilities, and encumbrances, the remaining balance of the funds was to be placed in an interest-bearing account in the husband's name. This account was to be held upon trust for both parties, pending further orders from the Court. The applications filed on 9 November 2018 and 5 December 2018 were otherwise dismissed.
