The court found that the 1st and 2nd defendants made an assurance that the plaintiff would be provided with a half share of the Property; the plaintiff relied on that assurance and suffered substantial detriment (notably two pregnancies undertaken in reliance); it was unconscionable for the defendants to repudiate the assurance; equitable relief was therefore granted in the form of a declaration that the 1st defendant held half the interest on trust for the plaintiff and an order for half the net sale proceeds with interest and costs.
