In Walburger v. Lindsay, 2015 BCSC 341, Madam Justice Fitzpatrick reapportioned 100% of one property that the respondent had received as a gift from his mother given the claimant had not contributed anything to that property. The claimant did, however, receive 50% of the second property in which she lived with the respondent because she had made to its upkeep, albeit a very modest one.
