Leena Yousefi and Abib Ngom were successful counsel in the precedent-setting case of Storey v. Terry. In this case, the wife applied for an unequal division of family property, an unequal division of family debt. Her Appeal was unsuccessful. As per the Court of Appeal:
The appellant appeals a summary trial order providing for the equal division of the parties’ interest in a jointly owned home following their four and a half year marriage‑like relationship. The appellant lived in the home after separation and paid the mortgage, property taxes and insurance without contribution from the respondent for approximately two years. Held: Appeal dismissed. The judge did not err in rejecting the appellant’s claim for reapportionment of the family property on the basis that her contribution to the home was greater following the separation. Nor did the judge’s order effectively require the appellant to assume a greater share of the family debt. The judge properly considered all of the circumstances including the fact that the appellant had sole occupancy of the family home while the respondent had to provide housing for himself.
