The court found on the balance of probabilities that the plaintiff clearly represented she could not and would not pay the mortgage and effectively offered to relinquish her beneficial interest; the defendant relied on that assurance and took over the mortgage payments and management from January 2001, thereby satisfying the elements of proprietary estoppel; accordingly the defendant became sole legal and beneficial owner from January 2001 and the plaintiff's claim failed.
