Tillman and Tillman (No 3)

In *Tillman and Tillman (No 3)*, Bennett J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the husband concerning the sale of a property in the United Kingdom and the management of bank accounts held in the names of the parties' children. The wife was not present at the hearing.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether to appoint a Registrar to execute documents for the sale of the UK property, and how to deal with the husband's application concerning the children's bank accounts, particularly in light of the wife's potential lack of notice. The Court also had to determine whether to dismiss the husband's application filed on 11 May 2016.

Bennett J exercised the Court's power under s 106A(1) of the *Family Law Act 1975* to appoint a Registrar to sign necessary documents for the sale of the UK property, noting that the husband had conduct of the sale. Regarding the children's bank accounts, the Court directed that any application filed by the husband before 22 July 2016 be set down for hearing as soon as practicable, with the possibility of final determination on the first return date, provided the wife had notice. The husband's application filed on 11 May 2016 was otherwise dismissed.
