I'm a respondent to a claim of a resulting trust living in Ontario. I was living common law for a couple years with someone. I am finding it difficult to find case laws which reflect my situation in Ontario Case Files but have found several in other provinces which are very close in relevance and situation. Is it acceptable by the Ontario Courts to cite Case Laws from out of province to defend against a claim in a case of unjust enrichment?
I understand that the Ontario Family Act might set different guidelines as far as Definition of Spouse etc. but I mean as far as in a point of Canadian Equity Law and it's parameters which I think would encompass all provinces equally and a case decision in Alberta would have a precedence on an active case in Ontario etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
