What is the difference between the contribution of the parties to the acquisition and improvement of Crowe Road?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Madill v. Townsend, 1995 CanLII 3119 (BC SC):
14 That problem arises, at least in part, from the difficulty involved in placing a specific monetary value on household services. But even if that were possible here, the respective contributions of the parties are not the most significant factor. In Peter v. Beblow, at p. 8, this statement appears: "In every case, the fundamental concern is the legitimate expectation of the parties". In this case, I have no hesitation in finding that the acquisition and improvement of Crowe Road was part of a joint effort by the parties to create a joint estate for themselves.
