The applicant and respondent were in a common law relationship from 2007 to 2020.
Following separation, the applicant brought claims for unjust enrichment and repayment of a promissory note.
The matter proceeded as an uncontested trial after the respondent failed to participate.
The court granted judgment for $90,000 based on a 2016 written acknowledgment of debt.
However, the court dismissed the unjust enrichment claim, finding insufficient evidence of a joint family venture, enrichment by the respondent, or corresponding deprivation by the applicant.
