Pourdis & Pourdis (No 3)

In the matter of *Pourdis & Pourdis (No 3)*, Justice Dawe of the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory made orders concerning property settlement proceedings between a husband and wife. The dispute centred on the valuation of plant and equipment owned by the husband or entities connected to him, which was a crucial element in the overall property settlement.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the valuation of the husband's plant and equipment, including the provision of information and access for the valuer. Additionally, the court addressed the timing for the filing and service of the husband's affidavit and financial statement, and the compliance with a previous order regarding paragraph 3 of an order made on 12 March 2012. The court also considered the wife's application for costs.

Justice Dawe ordered that the husband provide a comprehensive list of all plant and equipment owned by him or connected entities, along with their locations, by 2:00 pm on the day of the order. He was also required to ensure the valuer had full access to all necessary places and equipment by 12:00 pm on 21 March 2012. The time for compliance with paragraph 3 of the earlier order was extended to 10:00 am on 21 March 2012, and the husband was given until 2:00 pm on the day of the order to file and serve his affidavit and financial statement. The husband was ordered to pay the wife's costs of and incidental to her application filed on 16 March 2012, to be agreed within 21 days or assessed by a Registrar. The trial was scheduled to commence on 22 March 2012, with provisions for adjournment or special arrangements if necessary.
