Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Merritt v. Toronto (City), 1912 CanLII 18 (ON CA):
This view as to the intention of the parties and the meaning of the agreement is borne out by reference to what was done by the parties, and is perfectly good evidence, not to vary the terms of the patent, for which it is inadmissible (Wyatt v. Attorney-General of Quebec, [1911] A.C. 489), but to shew that the patent was issued in pursuance of the agreement.
