ZIMIN & NICKSON

This matter concerned applications by the husband and wife for the settlement of their matrimonial property. The court was required to make orders in full and final settlement of these applications.

The court was required to determine how the parties' various assets and liabilities, including real property, a partnership, and superannuation entitlements, should be divided and allocated between them. This involved considering the terms of any agreements reached between the parties and the provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), particularly in relation to superannuation splitting.

The court made orders for the transfer of specific properties between the parties, the discharge of joint mortgages, and mutual indemnities in respect of secured liabilities. It also ordered the dissolution of a partnership, with the wife assigning her interest to the husband, and the husband indemnifying the wife against partnership liabilities. Crucially, the court ordered a splitting of the husband's superannuation in favour of the wife pursuant to section 90MT of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), with specific directions for the nomination of the fund and the operative date of the splitting order. The parties were to retain their respective personal effects, furniture, vehicles, and other specified assets, with all other applications being dismissed.
