background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought variation of a 2007 divorce order clause giving him first option to buy out the respondent's 50% share in property within one month of evaluation. He claimed failure to exercise this right was due to parties not causing evaluation within two months as stipulated, and later attempted buy-out by depositing US$5000 with the Registrar in 2011.
