High Court dismisses an appeal from an order of the Circuit Family Court, where the dispute arising from a cohabitation relationship had been resolved by consent. The court found no grounds to litigate the matter anew, as the Applicant/Appellant had previously agreed to the terms with legal representation. The appeal sought to re-open the case on the basis of alleged non-disclosure and financial hardship, but the court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the original agreement which included a division of sale proceeds and monthly child maintenance payments.
