The appellant husband appealed a trial judgment granting corollary relief to the respondent wife.
The trial judge had ordered the husband to pay child support for the wife's child, a compensatory sum for property improvements, and $8,000 based on a post-separation letter promising financial help.
The Court of Appeal upheld the child support and compensatory sum, and dismissed the husband's new claim for occupation rent.
However, the Court allowed the appeal in part to strike the $8,000 payment, finding the letter was not a valid domestic contract, was too vague, and its conditions were unmet.
