Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Diotallevi v. Diotallevi, 1982 CanLII 3109 (ON SC):
Semple v. Semple (December 16, 1980 [summarized in 6 A.C.W.S. (2d) 317]) was another case in which the question of ouster was apparently not expressly considered. At p. 3 of his reasons, with reference to the matrimonial home, conceded to be a family asset, Mr. Justice Cromarty said: "The wife, however, claims a right to be compensated for its exclusive occupation by the husband for several years. She is entitled to this as a joint tenant."
