VINCENT & VINCENT

This matter came before Bennett J of the Family Court of Australia concerning an application by the applicant wife to vary previous orders made on 20 November 2014. The dispute centred on the sale of three real properties collectively known as "C Street" and the husband's cooperation in facilitating this sale, as well as his involvement in an insurance claim concerning goods and chattels.

The court was required to determine whether to vary the existing orders to grant the applicant wife sole conduct of the sale of the C Street properties, including the determination of sale terms and the instruction of legal representatives. Additionally, the court needed to consider the husband's obligation to execute necessary documents for the sale and the potential appointment of the Senior Registrar to act on his behalf if he failed to comply. The court also had to address the husband's cooperation with a valuer regarding an insurance claim for goods and chattels.

Bennett J ordered that the applicant wife have sole conduct of the sale of the C Street properties, with the respondent husband required to execute all necessary documents within 48 hours of written request. The court further ordered that if the husband failed to comply, the Senior Registrar of the Family Court of Australia be appointed to execute documents in the husband's name pursuant to section 106A of the *Family Law Act 1975*. The husband was also directed to authorise a valuer to confer with the wife at her expense regarding an insurance claim. The further hearing of the matter was adjourned, and all questions of costs were reserved.
