The court held that section 76 LRA vests exclusive competence to divide matrimonial assets (including gross proceeds of sale) at the time of granting the decree nisi; therefore claims in Civil Suit 168 concerning the proceeds are matters for the divorce petition and the Sessions Court action is an abuse of process, so the application to transfer and consolidate was dismissed.
