Summary
A husband appealed against the inclusion of his pre-marriage company shares (valued at $1.457 million) in the matrimonial pool, arguing the company was not a matrimonial asset. The court allowed the appeal in part, excluding the company shares from the pool as they were not substantially improved by the wife's caregiving contributions, but upheld the 70:30 division ratio for the remaining assets.
