FAMILY LAW ACT 1975 - SECT 90YW

Enforcement by court order

  (1)   The Family Court of Western Australia or the Magistrates Court of Western Australia may make such orders as it thinks necessary for the enforcement of a payment split or payment flag under this Division.

  (2)   The question whether a superannuation agreement or flag lifting agreement is valid, enforceable or effective is to be determined by the court according to the principles of law and equity that are applicable in determining the validity, enforceability and effect of contracts and purported contracts.

  (3)   Without limiting subsection   (2), in proceedings relating to a superannuation agreement or flag lifting agreement, the Family Court of Western Australia, or the Magistrates Court of Western Australia, has the same powers, may grant the same remedies and must have the same regard to the rights of third parties as the High Court has, may grant and is required to have in proceedings in connection with contracts or purported contracts, being proceedings in which the High Court has original jurisdiction.
