On the evidence the monies advanced by Mrs Martin in 1991 were provided without conditions and were a contribution to the relationship; the farm acquired in 1992 is relationship property under s 8(1)(e) (and alternatively under s 8(1)(ee) as acquired for common use/benefit); inherited funds had been so intermingled with farm income that property acquired with them (the campervan) lost separate status; bank account balances and assets acquired with farm income are relationship property; interest on the monetary adjustment is to run from six months after separation (31 October 2010).
