The applicant wife brought a motion seeking an interim order for the sale of the jointly owned matrimonial home and a boat.
The respondent husband opposed, arguing that a sale would prejudice his claim for unequal division based on alleged misappropriation of corporate funds by the applicant and incomplete financial disclosure.
The court found that the respondent failed to establish a prima facie case for unequal division, noting the high threshold for such claims and the applicant's thorough financial disclosure.
The court also highlighted the respondent's history of financial irresponsibility.
The motion for sale was granted, as the court determined it was justified to prevent further delay and unnecessary legal costs.
