Anthony Magafas & Anor v Peter Carantinos & Ors [2007] NSWSC 965

The proposed variations were rejected because they did not reflect the Court's earlier findings: the whole of 43 Riverside Crescent was purchased on trust for the partnership or joint venture, Mrs Carantinos' absence of notice removed her own liability to account but did not limit Mr Carantinos' accountability, and the Artesian shares were found to be held on trust for Pac-Com with no inconsistent claim by Mrs Carantinos made or litigated.

Procedural Posture

Equity Division Proceeding / Supplementary Reasons Concerning the Form of Declarations and Orders Following Judgment Delivered on 21 August 2007

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether declaration 4 should be varied and consequential changes made to declarations 5, 6 and 7.' "Whether the first defendant's liability to account for 43 Riverside Crescent should be limited by the second defendant's legal interest as tenant in common." 'Whether declaration 5 concerning shares in Artesian should be amended to reflect any claim by the second defendant.']

Ratio Decidendi

The proposed variations were rejected because they did not reflect the Court's earlier findings: the whole of 43 Riverside Crescent was purchased on trust for the partnership or joint venture, Mrs Carantinos' absence of notice removed her own liability to account but did not limit Mr Carantinos' accountability, and the Artesian shares were found to be held on trust for Pac-Com with no inconsistent claim by Mrs Carantinos made or litigated.

Court Disposition

Orders and declarations to be made; the first and second defendants' submissions as to the appropriate form of orders were rejected.

Orders

  • ["The first and second defendants' proposed variation to declaration 4 and consequential changes to declarations 5, 6 and 7 are rejected." 'The amendment proposed by Mrs Carantinos concerning declaration 5 is rejected.']
