The appellant estate appealed the dismissal of its claim that the respondent husband was unjustly enriched by the operation of his right of survivorship over farm properties held in joint tenancy with his deceased wife.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no absence of juristic reason for the enrichment, as it arose by operation of law and was consistent with the parties' expectations to keep the farm properties together.
Arguments for a constructive trust based on wrongful conduct and proprietary estoppel were also dismissed.
