What is the effect of a 50/50 share agreement between two members of the same party on expenses?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kreutzer v. Corbeil, 2005 CanLII 6395 (ON SC):

The economic relations between the parties were governed by their agreement to share expenses on a 50/50 basis. To the extent that the contributions of one party exceeded those of the other, there was an enrichment of one, a corresponding deprivation of the other, and no juristic reason for the enrichment. See Pettkus v. Becker 1980 CanLII 22 (SCC), [1980] 2 S.C.R. 834.
