CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Sresbodan and Sresbodan and Ors (No. 2)*, Fowler J considered an application by the wife concerning her property and funds held by her, in the context of an ongoing appeal from a prior order of 17 July 2012. The dispute revolved around the wife's financial arrangements and the security of her assets pending the determination of the appeal.
The court was required to determine how the wife's property and available funds should be managed and secured pending the appeal. Specifically, the court needed to address the charging of the wife's property, the restraint on her ability to alienate it, the application of a significant sum towards her mortgage, and the disposition of other funds held by her and her solicitors. The continuation of an undertaking given by the husband was also a matter for consideration.
Fowler J ordered that the wife charge her property with the repayment of any sum ordered on the determination of the appeal, and was restrained from further mortgaging, charging, or alienating the property pending the appeal. The wife was directed to apply $430,000 of her funds to repay the outstanding mortgage on her property, and was permitted to retain $80,000 for necessary expenses and to give instructions regarding $60,000 held by her solicitors. The remaining balance of funds was to be held by the wife in an interest-bearing account until further order. The husband's undertaking from 20 July 2012 was to continue, and the costs of the application were reserved.
