Wavers-Ors and Wavers-Ors

In the matter of *Wavers-Ors and Wavers-Ors*, Barry J considered an application concerning the management of rental properties and property settlement. The dispute involved a husband and wife, with the wife seeking orders regarding the administration of three rental properties located in Queensland, New South Wales, and New Zealand, as well as financial matters.

The court was required to determine the appropriate management of the rental properties, the disposition of rental income from the New Zealand property, and the terms of a partial property settlement for the wife. Additionally, the court needed to address the husband's compliance with disclosure obligations concerning financial documentation and the consequences of any non-compliance.

Barry J ordered that the wife be appointed as trustee to manage the three rental properties. The wife was directed to pay all rental moneys received from the New Zealand property since 11 October 2007 into a specified Commonwealth Bank account and to continue doing so every four months. The wife was also to receive $35,000 from these funds as a partial property settlement. The husband was ordered to provide specific financial documents to a joint expert and the wife's legal representatives within twenty-eight days, failing which he would be restricted from further contesting the wife's claim without leave. Legal representatives were granted leave to photocopy the husband's journal and a loose page of moneys expended. Costs were reserved, and the wife's application was adjourned for review.
