Summary
In protracted divorce proceedings between two medical doctors spanning over five years, the husband appealed against a registrar's decision on the valuation of the matrimonial property after he had agreed to a joint valuation but then abandoned the agreed process and appointed his own valuer unilaterally. The court had previously criticised the husband's unduly litigious and combative approach to the proceedings. The appeal was dismissed and the court awarded indemnity costs of $10,000 against the husband, finding his conduct in abandoning the agreed joint valuation was wholly unwarranted.
