- High Court
The High Court quashed the Family Court's decision setting aside the 23 January 2015 agreement and remitted the matter to the Family Court for rehearing because material evidential deficiencies prevented a reliable conclusion that giving effect to the agreement would cause serious injustice; the Family Court also erred in finding the advance to a third party was unsecured where evidence and concession at hearing established it was capable of being secured.
