Section 37 of the Property (Relationships) Act governs who may be heard where orders affect third parties; MHL will be entitled to be joined and heard on the appeal only if it first files in the Family Court an application to vary or discharge the interim restraining order (4) (Appendix B); upon filing that Family Court application MHL will be joined and may be heard on appeal only to the extent its interest in the property affected by that order is engaged; MHL may not raise broader issues (eg separate property status) beyond s 37 scope.
