Priority Property Pool Cases National Expansion

This webinar is designed to provide information about the national expansion of the case management of family law financial cases known as ‘Priority Property Pool Cases’ (PPP Cases).

From 30 October 2023, matters will be eligible to be designated a PPP Case where:
- the Initiating Application seeks only financial relief (i.e. alteration of property interests and/or spouse maintenance only)
- involves either:
- an asset pool with a total value of up to $550,000 (excluding superannuation), or
- an asset pool which has a value greater than $550,000 (excluding superannuation) but the Court, in its discretion, designates the matter as a PPP Case having regard to relevant features including family violence, limited complexity and/or risk of disproportionate costs or delay.

PPP Cases have a streamlined case management pathway that aims to find the simplest, quickest, and most cost-effective process to finalise the case.
