Wilson and Wilson

In *Wilson and Wilson*, heard before Young J, the dispute concerned interim orders sought by both the husband and wife in family law proceedings. The wife had filed an application on 25 June 2009 seeking urgent ex parte interim orders, and the husband subsequently filed a response.

The court was required to determine the appropriate interim orders to be made concerning the parties' property and financial affairs, including the management of a specific property, a line of credit, and the financial reporting of a self-managed superannuation fund. The court also had to consider the scheduling of future proceedings and the allocation of costs.

Young J made several orders, including restraining both parties from further encumbering or dealing with a property identified as "L" without the other's consent or a court order. The husband was also restrained from increasing a line of credit with the Commonwealth Bank secured against the "L" property beyond $50,000. Furthermore, the husband, as trustee of the R Superannuation Fund, was ordered to prepare and lodge the audited financial and taxation return for the financial year ended 30 June 2009 with the Australian Taxation Office by 28 July 2009. All urgent interim orders sought by the wife and the husband's response were adjourned to the Judicial Duty List on 20 August 2009, with a Financial Conciliation Conference scheduled for 9 September 2009. There were no orders for costs in relation to the hearing.
