British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Pallot v. Douglas, 2015 BCSC 1296 (CanLII):

As noted in the Consultation Paper, co-owners of a leasehold estate were a recognized class of persons who could seek partition under English law. This is still the law in Canada today. See for example Moss v. Zorn, [1991] N.W.T.R. 141 (S.C.).
