Facts of the Case
Background
The parties divorced in 2018 with a court order awarding them equal shares in their matrimonial home and providing either party could buy out the other within three months of valuation, failing which the property would be sold through estate agents. After rejecting the initial valuation of US$65,000, the parties marketed the property and received an offer of US$140,000. The applicant accepted this offer, but the respondent later reneged and sought to buy out the applicant instead.
