This is the decision of British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal Member Trisha Apland, who did not believe her claim that he gave them as gifts. In Pedersen and Hannaberry’s case, the fact they were in a romantic relationship was “relevant, but not determinative,” Tribunal Member Apland found. Hannaberry’s evidence was that the couple “were originally pretending the Magic Wand was not a gift because she felt ‘weird’ about gifts.”“I find this argument does not support her position. Instead, I find it suggests she may not have accepted the Magic Wand as a gift even though she had possession of it. Originally marketed as a muscle relaxer, the Hitachi Magic Wand is better known as a sex toy.
