- High Court
On the rehearing the Court upheld the Family Court's classification of the Kiltole Drive properties as relationship property because the cumulative evidence supported that the appellant controlled the accounts, treated the funds as his own and used sale proceeds for personal indebtedness; however the Court allowed the appeal in relation to the two $100,000 deposits, quashing the order requiring reimbursement because there was insufficient evidence to displace the appellant's account that the funds were repayment to a third party (Jun Luo).
