CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Spence and Spence (No. 2)*, Strickland J considered an application by the husband concerning the division of property following a separation. The dispute centred on the practical implementation of a previous court order made on 26 March 2008, specifically regarding the collection and removal of items from the former matrimonial home.
The primary legal issue before the court was how to ensure compliance with the existing property division order, particularly concerning the husband's retrieval of specified items. The court also had to determine the future conduct of the proceedings in light of the parties' inability to agree on the removal of remaining items.
Strickland J made orders to facilitate the husband's collection of items from Annexures A and B to the previous order, specifying a date and time for attendance at the former matrimonial home, and allowing the husband to be accompanied by his brother. The wife was granted liberty to have a representative present. The husband was directed to prepare a list of any remaining items and propose a method for their removal, to be left at the home for the wife. In the event of continued disagreement regarding the removal of further items, the court listed a specific application by the husband for further hearing. The court also dismissed certain applications by both parties, indicating a resolution of some aspects of the dispute.
