Title
'We prize not to the worth': some thoughts on the valuation of property under the Family Law Act

Description
In 1892, Oscar Wilde defined a cynic as 'A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing'. In these times, Wilde might have recast his definition, in accord with contemporary thought as being 'A person who knows the value of everything, but has forgotten the price of most things'. The interrelationship between price and value touches, as it always has, on many, if not all, areas of human activity from the apparently trivial to the apparently profound and primal. Hence, it would be strange had Australian family law as it relates to matters involving property and finance had escaped as, indeed, it has not!
