A Victorian statute that still allows married couples to assert and protect their separate property rights. In family cases it is sometimes referenced alongside the Law of Property Act 1925 and TOLATA where parties dispute ownership of an asset. Orders can exclude future claims under this Act as part of a clean break.
In Plain English
This is an old law sometimes used to settle arguments over who owns specific items or property. Today, it is mostly mentioned in final orders to make sure all past ownership claims are officially finished.
