Sancomb and Sancomb and Ors

In *Sancomb and Sancomb and Ors*, heard before Judge WJ Neville, the dispute concerned an informal arrangement regarding real property involving the Applicant Husband, the First Respondent Wife, and the Second and Third Respondents, who were the maternal grandparents. The maternal grandparents sought equitable relief concerning the B Street, Town C property.

The court was required to determine whether to grant equitable relief to the maternal grandparents and, if so, to declare the nature and extent of their interests and the interests of the Husband and Wife in the property. The court also needed to make consequential orders to finally dispose of the proceeding based on its declarations.

Judge Neville declared a constructive trust in favour of the Second and Third Respondents (the maternal grandparents) in relation to the B Street, Town C property. Furthermore, the court declared that the Applicant Husband, the First Respondent Wife, and the Second and Third Respondents (treated as a single entity) each held an equal one-third interest in the property. The parties were directed to file an agreed Minute outlining consequential orders within 21 days, or alternatively, to file individual Minutes and submissions if agreement could not be reached.
