The Applicant, Amanda Brandi Nicole Cameron, and the Respondent, William Craig Vincent, were in a common-law relationship and separated.
The primary outstanding issue was whether the Respondent was unjustly enriched to the detriment of the Applicant, specifically regarding his employment pension, under the doctrine of joint family venture.
The Applicant sought compensation via pension division or a monetary award.
The court found that the Respondent was unjustly enriched, concluding that a monetary award calculated on a "value surviving" basis was appropriate, but declined to order a specific division of the pension.
The court ordered the Respondent to pay the Applicant $104,125 as compensation for the unjust enrichment, to be disbursed from the proceeds of the jointly owned home.
