Kernott v Jones- Any impact on my friend?

Hi,
After the recent court case where the husband left the house he shared with his wife+stopped paying his share of the mortgage and was only awarded 10% of the house, i wanted to know if this will have any impact on my friend.

His partner moved out 18 months ago after around 3 years of sharing a mortgage. She stopped paying her share shortly after moving out+is now putting pressure on my friend to sell so she can have her half of the house.
Regarding this ruling, is she still entitled to 50% please?
Not yet a total moneysaving expert...but im trying!!
