The applicant held legal title to two properties.
His parents and brothers brought a cross-application claiming beneficial ownership of the properties based on resulting trust, constructive trust, and unjust enrichment, alleging they provided the purchase funds and paid expenses.
The court dismissed the family members' claims, finding that the father had concealed his alleged assets to receive social assistance and declare bankruptcy, thereby disentitling him to equitable relief under the clean hands doctrine.
The court granted the applicant's request for exclusive possession of the residential property.
