Flynote

Family law — divorce — division of assets following divorce — may not be dealt with separately from divorce action unless both parties so request and the court is prepared to sanction such a course or for good cause recognised by the court — grant of divorce — court's discretion to refuse even in case of irretrievable breakdown of marriage

Family law — husband and wife — matrimonial action — action for divorce — necessary to allege that court has jurisdiction

Practice and procedure — application — interlocutory application on "fast track" court roll — not appropriate method of dealing with application for divorce
