Grobstein v. Kouri - [1936] SCR 264 - 1936-04-21
Supreme Court JudgmentsBankruptcy and insolvency
Vaughan Williams, L.J., thought the preferable construction was to treat the policy as by the husband on his wife’s life, because he was inclined to think that the husband had an interest in his wife’s life which ought to be presumed, and treating the policy in that way he did not think it necessary to go into the evidence [...] I have quoted above the words of Vaughan Williams, L.J., as to the practical reason for treating these joint insurances as insurance by each of the other’s life. [...] I can see the objection that can be taken to my own preference of dealing with the policy in the way that Vaughan Williams, L.J., did in the Griffiths case[9] because of the words of reservation of change of beneficiary in each of the applications.

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.
