This endorsement follows a lengthy trial where the applicant husband was found to own the farm assets.
The parties were unable to agree on the quantum of equalization payment, amounts owing for Lot 8, repayment for Class B shares, and costs/interest.
The court addressed these outstanding financial issues, largely adopting the respondent wife's calculations for farm equipment and vehicles, using averages for cattle and crops, and setting the land value (excluding Lot 8) at $300,000.
The court also ordered the husband to pay the wife for Lot 8 and Class B shares, including prejudgment interest, and granted the wife's request for security against the husband's property for the equalization payment due to his history of asset reorganization.
Costs submissions were deferred.
