Sullivan and Sullivan

In the matter of *Sullivan and Sullivan*, Forrest J considered an application concerning the compliance with previous court orders regarding the purchase of Units 1 & 2. The dispute centred on the parties' obligations to finalise the purchase of these units, which involved discharging an existing debt secured by a mortgage over the properties.

The primary legal issue before the court was how to ensure compliance with the Suburb C Magistrates Court's orders of 13 December 2012, specifically paragraphs 4 and 6, which mandated the completion of the purchase of Units 1 & 2. This included the discharge of the National Australia Bank (NAB) debt. The court also had to determine the appropriate course of action for the amended Application in a Case filed by the wife on 13 November 2014.

Forrest J ordered that the husband and wife were to take all necessary steps, including signing documents, to comply with the 2012 orders for the purchase of the units and the discharge of the NAB debt. To facilitate this, the court appointed a Registrar of the Brisbane Registry to sign documents on behalf of either party should they refuse or fail to do so. The wife's amended application was dismissed. In the event that NAB had already sold the units, any net proceeds were to be held in trust pending further court orders or agreement between the parties.
