When a joint family venture has been established, is the mutual conferral of benefits considered when determining remedy?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from TM v. RR, 2021 NSSC 156 (CanLII):

When a joint family venture has been established, the “mutual conferral of benefits” may be considered when determining remedy. A monetary award may be calculated based on a share of the accumulated wealth that is proportionate to the applicant’s contributions. As part of this analysis, the respective contributions of the parties must be considered to determine the claimant’s proportionate share based on a “reasoned exercise of judgment in light of all of the evidence.” Kerr v. Baranow, supra, para 102. Findings
