The plaintiff sued his mother and sister to enforce an alleged oral agreement concerning a 100-acre parcel of land.
The plaintiff claimed he was entitled to ownership of certain portions of the land and a significant share of the profits from the sale of subdivision lands to a developer, in exchange for his efforts in representing his mother at Ontario Municipal Board hearings.
The court dismissed the action, finding no legally enforceable agreement existed.
The court concluded there was no mutual intention to create legal relations and that the essential terms of the alleged agreement lacked certainty.
The mother's counterclaim for damages was also dismissed for lack of evidence.
