The High Court held that the Family Court erred in excluding state benefit income from the applicant's means; s65(2)(a) requires regard to means and s62 does not mandate disregarding benefits, and established authorities (B v K; C v H) support taking benefits into account; accordingly the maintenance orders exceeded the applicant's needs and were quashed.
