\par 
\par The second ground for appeal advanced by Counsel is that the learned Magistrate had, by purporting to make orders affecting the ownership of land outside of Fiji, acted beyond his competence and jurisdiction.}{
\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12597999\charrsid8258822 Counsel for the Respondent argued to the contrary, adding that Vanuatu being a member of the Forum 
(an organisation of States of the South Pacific), has reciprocal agreement with Fiji with regards of enforcement of judgments in each other\rquote s jurisdictions.
\par 
\par There is no doubt that the Court does possess the power to order settlement of property as between a Petitioner and Respondent.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12597999\charrsid8258822 
But such power is prima facie limited to the property of spouses who are domiciled within the jurisdiction of the Fiji Courts.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12597999\charrsid8258822 
It does not extend to any property owned by the party or spouse who is no longer within the jurisdiction or in respect of which the Courts of jurisdiction cannot give an effective judgment (see}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822 :}{

Clearly the learned Magistrate had erred in settling the property in Vanuatu.
\par 
\par There is in addition a fixed term deposit held in the ANZ Bank account, the location of which is not clear to this Court.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12597999\charrsid8258822 
The learned Magistrate had ordered that the deposit be divided equally between the Petitioner and the Respondent.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid12597999\charrsid8258822 
Counsel for the Appellant submitted that in making the Order, the Court paid little regards to the factors that needed to be taken into consideration, including the interests of the children, as provided for under section 86 of the Act.
\par 
\par Lastly the Appellant argued that the learned Magistrate\rquote s powers and jurisdiction extend only to $15,000 being the limit of his civil jurisdiction.}{\f0\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid8258822  }{
