The applicant brought a motion for the immediate partition and sale of the matrimonial home in Ontario, and for sole carriage of the sale.
The respondent argued the court in Nigeria had assumed jurisdiction over the family case.
The court held it had jurisdiction to order the sale under the Partition Act as the property was located in Ontario.
The court ordered the partition and sale, granted the applicant carriage of the sale, and directed that the respondent's share of the proceeds be held in trust pending further court order.
