Family law – ancillary relief – matrimonial home – resulting trust – constructive trust – leave to appeal – credibility – child welfare – self-represented litigant – costs. The court dismissed the husband's application for leave to appeal against a judgment on ancillary relief. The court held there was no reasonable prospect of success regarding the application of resulting trust principles, the characterization of the matrimonial home as a pre-nuptial asset, the credibility of the wife's evidence, the emphasis on the daughter's welfare, and the court's assistance to the self-represented husband. The husband was ordered to pay the wife's costs.
