Spoliation order — couple living together whether married or not — limited rights to take property of party moving out of home.
When a man and woman have been living together, whether married or not, and one moves out, removal by the party moving out of any property which was in their joint possession without the consent of the other party constitutes spoliation. A party moving out can only remove things which she establishes were both her own property and always in her individual possession. If the things do not fall into this category she must claim a division of property; she cannot simply take them away. In this case a man had decided not to continue renting lodgings which he occupied with a woman. The woman therefore decided to move out first and in his absence took away various pieces of property The man was entitled to a spoliation order requiring the return of these items at his new home.
