- High Court
The High Court upheld the Family Court's factual finding that the parties were in a de facto relationship and that the appellant had disposed of relationship property into TTL with the intention of defeating the respondent's claim such that s44 applied; accordingly the Family Court's order transferring 19B Cathedral Place so it could be treated as relationship property, and the compensatory orders under s20E and for occupation rent, were within jurisdiction and were confirmed on appeal.
