Sekyi and Sokol and Anor

The proceeding concerned an application by the first applicant, Sekyi, to discharge an order made by consent on 7 July 2015, and to substitute it with a new order concerning the proceeds of sale of a property located at C Street. The second applicant, Sokol, was also a party to the proceeding. The matter came before Rees J in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the existing consent order, which dealt with the distribution of the proceeds of sale of the C Street property, should be varied or discharged. This required the Court to consider the circumstances under which a consent order could be set aside or modified, particularly in light of the applicants' apparent agreement to a different distribution.

Rees J discharged the original consent order and made a new order in lieu thereof. The specific terms of the new order, as indicated by the provided text, relate to the "balance of the proceeds of sale of the property at C Street," suggesting a reallocation or clarification of how these funds were to be distributed between the parties. The Court's reasoning would have involved an assessment of the parties' current intentions and the appropriateness of altering the prior consent arrangement.
