In an uncontested family law trial following the striking of the respondent's pleadings for failure to provide financial disclosure, the applicant sought division of jointly owned properties and assets from joint family ventures.
The court awarded the applicant her 50% share of the net proceeds from the sale of the family home, reimbursement for a judgment paid on the respondent's behalf, 50% of the value of a jointly owned restaurant, and 50% of the respondent's pension.
The applicant's claim regarding a past restaurant venture was dismissed for lack of traceable proceeds, and her claim regarding another property was deferred for further evidence.
Costs were awarded to the applicant on a full indemnity basis due to the respondent's bad faith.
