CASE LAW

No Charge for Occupation

In a partition action, outside of ouster and bailiff cases, an occupying owner will not be charged for their occupation unless they claim an allowance for expenses. This rule also applies in an application for sale under the Property Law Act (Bernard v. Bernard, 1987 CanLII 2721 (BC SC)).

Applications for Relief

See the case law annotated under s. 14 of the Act.
