The appellant appealed a trial judgment granting the respondent a constructive trust in a residential home and a boat following the end of their 13-year common law relationship.
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's finding of unjust enrichment but varied the order on consent to reflect a fixed amount of $97,000 rather than a percentage interest.
The respondent's cross-appeal seeking a constructive trust in the appellant's business was dismissed, as she had been appropriately compensated as an employee.
The court ordered the $97,000 interest to be secured against the residence and directed its sale if the judgment was not paid by a specified date.
