COURT OF APPEAL
maintenance: case.
[pep. press association.]
WELLINGTON, March 12
Addressing the Court of Appeal on behalf of appellant, Charles Whitmore ’ Hole, Mr, W. Perry submitted author-j ities which showed that an agreement i for separation would terminate on the death of either party, or on the resumption of their married life. He contended further that the agreement would terminate when the parties became divorced, as they did in this case. He further submitted that every separation agreement which did not contain provisions for a settlement on the wife, was put an end to if either party petitioned for and obtained a divorce. Mr. W. E. Leicester, for the respondent, submitted that there had been an agreement to pay respondent £5 per week that this allowance was to be permanent, and that the proceedings for maintenance did not debar her from proceeding under the agreement. The hearing was adjourned.
