The applicant sought compensation for unjust enrichment for her years of unpaid labour on her husband's family's dairy farm, as well as an equalization payment and retroactive child support.
The court found that the applicant had enriched both her husband and his mother through her extensive work on the farm and suffered a corresponding deprivation without juristic reason.
The court awarded the applicant $247,029.40 for unjust enrichment based on a value received approach, and a $60,000.00 equalization payment for her husband's equitable interest in the matrimonial home.
The claim for retroactive child support was dismissed.
