    FCMC1289/2016

    The Deed of Gift was a disposition within s17 MPPO. Given the close chronology to the ancillary relief judgment and vacant possession orders, the letters and conduct of the husband and father, and absence of any contrary evidence, the court was satisfied the gift was made with the intention of defeating the AR Judgment; the statutory presumption in s17(3) applied and was not rebutted. Accordingly the court set aside the Deed of Gift under s17(1)(c) and ordered it vacated from registration, with costs as directed.
