Applying section 28 and authorities (notably Davis v. Davis), balancing the wife's limited fortune and earning capacity, the husband's manifest ability to pay despite some liabilities and minority shareholdings, the parties' conduct (Full Court granted divorce to the wife though with reservations), and the modest standard of living during marriage, a lump sum of $250,000 and annual maintenance of $60,000 (with two-thirds secured for life) is reasonable and appropriate.
