This trial decision addresses a divorce, equalization of net family properties, and an accounting of rents and post-separation expenses between Guy Gionet (Applicant) and Franca Pingue (Respondent).
The court determined beneficial ownership of several properties, finding a resulting trust in favour of the applicant for the matrimonial home and a constructive trust in favour of the respondent for two investment properties.
The applicant was found more credible.
An equalization payment of $59,535.98 was ordered from the applicant to the respondent.
Claims for post-separation expenses and rent accounting were dismissed, as the respondent's expenses were offset by rents received.
