Prosser and Prosser & Ors

In the Family Court of Australia, Mr A Prosser (the husband) sought to join his wife's son, Mr J, as a third respondent to proceedings and to obtain an injunction restraining Mr J from dealing with his interest in a specific real property. The dispute concerned the preservation of property within the context of family law proceedings.

The court was required to determine whether Mr J should be joined as a party to the proceedings and whether an injunction should be granted to restrain him from dealing with his interest in the disputed real property. Additionally, the court considered circumstances justifying an order for costs.

Forrest J ordered that Mr J be joined as the third respondent. The court granted an injunction restraining Mr J from dealing with his interest in the property at K Street, Suburb G, Queensland, without the prior written consent of the applicant husband, upon the husband providing an undertaking as to damages. The court also ordered that the wife pay the husband's costs related to his application concerning the removal of a caveat from the D Town property.
