Following the breakdown of their common law relationship, the parties sought to divide the net proceeds from the sale of their jointly owned home.
The applicant claimed an unequal division based on unjust enrichment for paying the mortgage, while the respondent's father claimed repayment for a $6,000 loan and the cost of home renovations he performed.
The court dismissed the unjust enrichment claim, finding the parties had agreed to share expenses according to their means.
The court ordered the $6,000 loan to be repaid from the joint proceeds but found the home renovations were a gift, rebutting the presumption of a resulting trust.
The net proceeds were divided with specific adjustments for initial contributions, closing costs, and legal fees.
