This matter concerned property division orders made by Benjamin J in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The dispute involved the husband and wife, who sought to finalise the division of their property interests. The orders themselves indicate a significant transfer of property from the husband to the wife, including the parties' interest in a property at B Street, Suburb C, Tasmania.

The court was required to determine the terms of the property settlement between the parties. This included specifying the disposition of various assets, such as real estate, motor vehicles, household furniture, and financial accounts. The orders also addressed the discharge of a mortgage and the indemnification of the husband in relation to a specific loan.

Benjamin J made orders for the husband to transfer his interest in the B Street property to the wife within thirty days, with the wife to discharge the associated mortgage and release the husband from his personal covenants. The wife was also to indemnify the husband regarding a loan to her brothers. The court declared the wife's sole title to certain assets, including property at F Street, G Town, Country H, vehicles, furniture, and her financial accounts and superannuation. Conversely, the husband was entitled to specific household furniture and contents in his possession, as well as monies in his sole name. The orders included provisions for the execution of necessary documents, with the wife having the power to sign on the husband's behalf if he failed to do so within fourteen days of a written request. The operation of these orders was stayed until 9 October 2013, with the husband granted leave to apply to have the orders vacated or to participate in the proceedings if such an application was filed by that date.
