Pagliotti and Hartner

In *Pagliotti and Hartner*, heard before Stevenson J, the husband sought to appeal an interim property settlement order made by a registrar. The dispute concerned the division of assets between the parties following their separation.

The central legal issue before Stevenson J was whether the registrar had erred in making the interim property settlement order. Specifically, the court was required to determine if the registrar had exercised her discretion appropriately in light of the evidence presented at the time of the interim hearing.

Stevenson J dismissed the husband's application, finding no error in the registrar's exercise of discretion. The judge reasoned that the registrar had properly considered the relevant factors and the evidence before her when making the interim order. The husband's appeal was therefore unsuccessful.
