How has the court awarded an unequal division of net family properties in a separation proceeding?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hum v. Skoll, 2019 ONSC 2367 (CanLII):
On the facts before him, Galligan J. awarded the wife an unequal division of the net family properties, finding that to do otherwise would have been unconscionable, where a husband appropriated for himself and his own use, post separation, jointly held funds, without permission of the wife. Galligan J. accounted for that unilateral appropriation of joint funds and awarded the wife an additional amount accordingly (see paragraph 21 of Skrj v. Skrj, supra).
