British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Galloway v. Galloway, 2006 BCSC 1677 (CanLII):

The significance of the word “oust” is found in Barker v. Barker, 2000 BCSC 305, at paras. 69-75, a decision relied on by the defendant. There, the court denied the husband’s claim for occupation rent in part because he left the house of his own volition, not because he had been ousted.
