Umber and Travers

In *Umber and Travers*, heard before Judge Myers, the applicant sought and was awarded a sum of $120,253.53 from the respondent. The dispute concerned the division of property, with the court making specific orders regarding the distribution of various assets.

The primary legal issue before the court was the equitable distribution of the parties' property. This involved determining the quantum of financial resources to be transferred from one party to the other, as well as the division of other assets held individually by each party.

Judge Myers reasoned that the applicant was entitled to the specified sum, authorising and directing its payment by the respondent. The court further ordered that, apart from this monetary award, each party was to retain ownership of all real property, chattels, motor vehicles, insurance policies, bank accounts, superannuation, shares, furniture, and similar assets that were in their name or possession at the time of the orders.
