- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal: the parties were found to have had two short de facto relationships (late Oct/Nov 2014–end Feb 2015 and Dec 2015–Feb 2016) but the principal property at [withheld] was separate as it was acquired by the respondent before the qualifying de facto relationship and not in contemplation of, nor intended for, common use; the applicant did not make substantial contributions in the short qualifying periods and failure to order division of residual assets would not result in serious injustice.
