British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Jafar-Gholizadeh v Larijani, 2018 BCSC 279 (CanLII):

The matter of unjust enrichment was also discussed in Suen v. Suen, 2016 BCCA 107 (Suen #2). As noted by Justice Groberman, a review of the contributions between the parties should be limited to those contributions related to the property and not “… the totality of their financial and social dealings with one another”: para. 58.
