Court

High Court

Section 39(1)(a) of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 includes jurisdiction to appeal interlocutory Family Court decisions, but Judge Twaddle did not make an appealable decision refusing discovery because no formal r 141 application with supporting affidavit was made; his comments were a preliminary view and the appeal is therefore dismissed.

Court

High Court

On the cumulative s 2D factors and given the Family Court judge's credibility findings, the parties continued to live together as a couple on and after 1 February 2002; the High Court will not overturn those factual conclusions absent clear error, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
