YBI v YBJ

YBI v YBJ

The AM Order was clear and unambiguous: Order 3(c)(i) and (ii) are separate obligations so the CPF refund is not part of the 50% net payment; there was no cogent evidence of a fundamental misunderstanding apparent on the face of the order nor sufficient evidence of fraudulent misrepresentation or unfair advantage to set aside or vary the order beyond the limited consensual amendments agreed at the hearing.

Procedural Posture

Family Court Ancillary Matters (variation of Consent Order) / Application to Vary Consent Ancillary Order Heard and Dismissed at First Instance; Notice of Appeal Filed to District Court

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the court should exercise s 112(4) Women’s Charter power to vary the consent ancillary order
  2. 2 Whether the AM Order was unworkable ab initio due to a fundamental misunderstanding
  3. 3 Whether the Husband committed fraudulent misrepresentation to vitiate the consent order

Ratio Decidendi

The AM Order was clear and unambiguous: Order 3(c)(i) and (ii) are separate obligations so the CPF refund is not part of the 50% net payment; there was no cogent evidence of a fundamental misunderstanding apparent on the face of the order nor sufficient evidence of fraudulent misrepresentation or unfair advantage to set aside or vary the order beyond the limited consensual amendments agreed at the hearing.
