Supreme Court held that mortgage liability extends to the spouse's share when the whole property is pledged as security.

The Supreme Court ruled that mortgage liability applies to the spouse's share of the property when the entire dwelling is pledged as security for a joint debt. The parties had pledged their jointly signed security deed for the whole property, and the pledge was declared unenforceable against one spouse. The court determined that the security interest covers the entire property, thereby extending liability to the other spouse's portion.
