Is there any case law in which a plaintiff was denied damages or costs by a Respondent who had continued his adulterous relationship with the Respondent?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Haynes v. Haynes, 1926 CanLII 195 (SK QB):
I do not overlook the fact that there are cases such as Newby v. Newby, 77 L.T. 142, and Sweeting v. Sweeting, 36 T.L.R. 15, in which the plaintiff was denied damages or costs against the co-respondent, although the latter had continued his adulterous intercourse with the wife after knowledge of her marriage. But the reason for such denial may I think be generally attributed to the fact that the wife had become dependent upon the co-respondent, so that it would have been unfair of him to desert her.
