The judgment concerns a defended divorce action between spouses married in community of property. It discusses a preservation order made in March 2024 about the plaintiff’s pension benefit, and holds that the plaintiff’s forfeiture claim failed. The court granted a decree of divorce and directed the GEPF to divide the amount held under the 24 March 2024 order and pay each party an equal share.
It may be relevant to divorce and pension benefit disputes involving preservation orders and claims framed under sections 7 and 9 of the Divorce Act.
