    The application under s.6 Cap.182 was properly brought and the court will exercise its summary discretion to restrain the respondent from selling or otherwise disposing of the matrimonial flat and to require alternative accommodation where necessary to protect the wife's right to occupy; the court granted the reliefs sought insofar as they protect occupation (reliefs 1, 2 and 4) while not adjudicating or creating proprietary rights in the property.
