Pappas and Ebner

The case of *Pappas and Ebner* concerned an application by the wife for interlocutory injunctions against the husband concerning a property located in New South Wales. The wife sought to restrain the husband from selling or further encumbering the property and to compel him to meet all mortgage costs and repayments. The court was required to determine whether to grant these injunctions pending further orders.

The court considered the wife's application for injunctive relief. The legal issues involved the principles governing the grant of interlocutory injunctions, particularly in the context of family law proceedings where property division is a central concern. The court had to assess whether the wife had established a sufficient case to warrant the imposition of these restraints on the husband's proprietary rights.

The court made orders continuing the existing injunctions. These orders restrained the husband from selling or disposing of his interest in the [B] property and from further encumbering it. Additionally, the husband was ordered to meet all costs and repayments in respect of the mortgage secured on the property, including any arrears, as they fell due. The wife provided an undertaking to the court to abide by any order regarding damages should the husband sustain any loss due to these orders which the wife ought to pay. All costs were reserved.
