Equity and voidable transactions: Cummins Principle

The Federal Circuit Court in Weston v McAuley [2017] FCCA 1 (Weston) reaffirmed the application of the decision in Prentice (trustee of the property of Cummins, a Bankrupt) v Cummins (No 5) [2002] FCA 1503 (Cummins) being in the absence of proceedings under section 79 of the Family Law Act 1979 (Cth) (Family Law Act), distribution of the matrimonial property in bankruptcy is determined by the application of general property law. 

Stipe Vuleta, Director at Chamberlains, will consider: 

  • The applicable equitable and property law principles;
  • The Cummins case and the application of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth);
  • The case of Weston; and
  • The divergent results when proceedings are on foot pursuant to section 79 of the Family Law Act.
