Question juridique clé
Whether a presumed donative intent and taxable gift arose from the partner's financing of the appellant's half-share in the house.
Solution extraite
The lower court could presume donative intent; no violation of hearing rights, arbitrariness, or burden-of-proof rules was shown.
Motifs extraits
The partner provided the own funds for the appellant's share; under the relevant cantonal practice, gift intent may be presumed between close persons when the elements of a gift are otherwise present.
