In Chen v. Lin[16], a case on which the husband relies, Gilmore J. awarded a husband a one-half beneficial interest in a property in Taiwan owned by the wife in that case, and ordered that the value of the husband’s interest be paid out from the wife’s share of the net proceeds of sale of a jointly-owned home in Toronto.
