Full Court overturns property adjustment decision in favor of wife in dispute with husband
In the case of Greer & Shui (No 2), the Full Court allowed the wife's appeal against the primary judge's finding that she made no contribution to a property in Suburb C, which was jointly owned by the couple. The court found that the primary judge's decision was based on a mistaken fact and his exercise of discretion was therefore wrong at law. The parties proposed a consent order for the husband to pay the wife an additional $200,000 within 14 days, which was agreed upon by both parties and falls within the broad range of discretion afforded by the Family Law Act. The court granted the wife a costs certificate.
