Brighouse v. Morton - [1929] SCR 512 - 1929-04-30
Supreme Court JudgmentsTrust
There are payments amounting to $4,000, which the defendant charges as paid to his brother William A. Wilkinson, deceased, for the latter's wages for work done on the farm of Sam Brighouse, during the period from 1896 to 1913. [...] It is, however, sufficiently plain that, if the $4,000, represented by the payments now in controversy, be regarded as part of the proceeds to William A. Wilkinson of the Gulf lots, he has been, to that extent, paid twice, an event which is very unlikely to happen by the payer's consent. [...] There remains the contention that William A. Wilkinson, being nephew of Sam Brighouse, and living on his farm, had no enforceable claim against his uncle for wages by reason of a presumed or implied agreement.
