Court: High Court

Year: 1959

Principle(s): Properties acquired by a man with the assistance of his wife and children are still the properties of the man because it is the customary duty of the wife and children to provide such assistance; Upon a man's death intestate, his self-acquired property becomes family property, vested in his family; any property acquired with the proceeds of family property is itself family property, and is not the self-acquired property of the member of the family so acquiring it.
