The parties, formerly in a romantic relationship, jointly purchased two residential stands registered in both names. After their relationship ended, they agreed the plaintiff would relinquish his rights in one property but disputes arose over subdivision of the remaining jointly-owned stand 734. The defendant refused to sign subdivision documents claiming she contributed more to the purchase price.
