WILKINS & WILKINS

In *Wilkins & Wilkins*, the wife sought an interim property settlement under section 79 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). The husband contended that the sale of a property would be premature. The court was required to determine whether there was sufficient evidence at this stage of the proceedings to exercise the power under section 79 of the Act to make an order for property settlement.

The court found that the wife had not filed appropriate evidence in support of her interim application. Consequently, there was insufficient evidence before the court to make a just and equitable determination regarding property settlement at that juncture.

The wife's application was dismissed.
