Foley’s List is pleased to present the 2022 Family Law Breakfast Seminar in podcast form. This episode will take you through questions and answers about a post-covid hypothetical fact scenario.  The topics covered are: contraventions, valuations and adversarial experts, gifts and the assessment of contributions.

We appreciate the special appearance of Justice Hartnett of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia in asking the questions in this Q & A. Presenting the answers are Foley’s List Barristers: Vanessa Bacchetti, Amrita Malik, Bronia Tulloch, Laurence Fudim, Harriet Geddes and Alex Finemore.

These presenters have also written detailed papers about the topics upon which they have been asked questions.  The hypothetic fact scenario and each of the papers can be found on the CPD resources page of Foley’s website.

Belle Lane and Alex Metherell share their experiences, insights, and wisdom of Mediation in Family Law and then take a deeper look at the legislation pertaining to it. Belle explores mentalisation and the procedural justice effect as some of the things to keep in mind, in order to get the best out of both parties. Alex examines the legislation and caselaw relating to the enforceability and admissibility of written agreements made at Mediations.

Simon Fuller discusses equitable interests in land insofar as they are relevant to family law disputes.  The seminar covers the relevance of equity to family law matters with particular reference to Parts VIII, VIIIAA and VIIIAB of the Family Law Act and the concept of accrued jurisdiction. It also considers the preliminary matters considerations in equitable land disputes including caveats, joinder, and pleadings. 

Finally, the seminar also considers some types of equitable proprietary claims including resulting trusts, constructive trusts, and proprietary estoppel.
