The applicant and respondent cohabited for 23 years but were never married.
After separation, the applicant brought a claim for unjust enrichment and a share of the respondent's property, arguing they were engaged in a joint family venture.
The court dismissed the claim, finding both parties had significant credibility issues and the applicant failed to prove she made financial or non-pecuniary contributions that enriched the respondent.
The court concluded there was no mutual effort, economic integration, or actual intent to share assets.
