The following excerpt is from Gorrill v. White et al., 1991 CanLII 7659 (SK QB):
In the words of Ratych v. Bloomer, supra, at p. 983, I am not "satisfied that (it) is both necessary and appropriate in the interests of justice" for me to use the device of a trust for the purpose of requiring double compensation to be paid to the plaintiff as to those particular wages. I have considered the discussion on this subject in Fobel, supra, at pp. 413-416, and while I find that the payments of these wages were made ex gratia, I cannot and do not find "some obligation, moral if not legal, to repay" the employers (Ratych at p. 983).
