Nash and Isbett

In the matter of Nash and Isbett, heard by Judge Burchardt, the dispute concerned the division of property and financial resources between a husband and wife. The court was required to make orders regarding the payment of a sum of money, the potential sale of real property, and the distribution of superannuation and other assets.

The court determined the specific financial obligations of the wife to the husband, including a principal sum and interest, and established a mechanism for the discharge of these obligations. This involved setting a timeframe for payment and outlining the consequences of non-payment, which included the sale of real property. The court also addressed the division of superannuation benefits, with each party foregoing claims to the other's benefits. Furthermore, the court ordered that each party retain sole entitlement to all other property in their possession.

The court ordered the wife to pay the husband $9,750 within 90 days. In the event of non-payment, the real property was to be sold, with the proceeds applied first to sale costs, then to discharge any mortgage or encumbrances, and finally to satisfy the outstanding payment with interest. The court also ordered the wife to pay half the cost of a property valuation within 60 days. Each party was to forgo claims to the other's superannuation and retain all other property in their possession.
