CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the matter of *Xu and Phak*, Benjamin J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the wife to set aside a financial agreement. The husband was the respondent in these proceedings.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the financial agreement should be set aside pursuant to section 90K of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

The court did not provide reasons for its decision in the provided text, but rather made directions for the future conduct of the proceedings. These directions included setting a hearing date for the application to set aside the financial agreement, and establishing strict timelines for the filing and service of affidavit material by both the applicant wife and the respondent husband. Further directions were given regarding the payment of hearing fees, the filing of case outlines, and the preparation of a bundle of all intended evidence.
