Singh v Kaur Bal [No 2]

The case of Singh v Kaur Bal [No 2] involved the parties, Singh and Bal, who were married and held property in joint tenancy. The dispute arose from the sale of their matrimonial home by Singh, which Bal claimed was sold at an undervalue. Bal argued that the sale was a voidable disposition under the property law and sought to recover the full value of her interest in the proceeds. The case was heard by the Family Court of Australia.

The legal issues before the court included the extent of Bal's interest in the proceeds of the sale, the effect of Singh's voidable disposition, and whether the creditors of Singh would be prejudiced by the disposition. The court needed to determine whether Bal was entitled to the full value of her interest in the property and if the creditors of Singh would suffer any prejudice as a result of the disposition.

The Family Court of Australia found that Bal was entitled to the full value of her interest in the proceeds of the sale, as Singh's disposition was voidable due to the undervalue of the sale. The court also held that the creditors of Singh would not be prejudiced by the disposition, as there was no evidence to suggest that they would suffer any loss. The court allowed Bal's cross-appeal in part, affirming her entitlement to the full value of her interest in the property.
