Abstract
This article explores the meaning of "property" in the Property (Relationships) Act 1976. The definition of "property" in the Act is a wide one and is fundamental to jurisdiction under the Act. The article surveys the spectrum of legislative definitions of property.

Some of the leading judgments are examined, including two regarding relationship property from the Supreme Court, and it is found that the courts have already been adventuresome.
