Law360 Canada ( May 9, 2022, 9:11 AM EDT) -- Appeal by G Burnouf (GB) from a Chambers Decision. A Burnouf (AB) was the registered owner of three properties in Saskatchewan. In 2017, AB and her son, GB, entered into a trust agreement pursuant to which the land in question was transferred into their joint names. The terms of the trust stipulated that GB was to hold the land as a trustee and that AB could demand return of the land at any time during her lifetime. GB claimed that two of the three properties had been gifted to him by AB prior to the execution of the trust agreement, although title to the land was not, at the time the trust agreement was signed, formally registered in his name. AB applied to the Court of Queen’s Bench by originating application for an order directing the Registrar of Titles to remove GB’s name from the title to the three properties. GB resisted the application, although he subsequently withdrew his opposition in relation to AB’s principal residence. GB also sued to enforce the prior alleged inter vivos gift of land coupled with an application for an order consolidating his action with AB’s application and directing a trial of the issues. The Chambers judge concluded that GB was bound by the terms of the trust agreement, ordered that title to the land be vested in AB’s sole name, and directed the removal of GB’s name from title. She also dismissed GB’s application for consolidation of the two matters and declined to set the matter down for trial. GB took the position that the Chambers judge erred in law by failing to consider the material facts giving rise to the alleged gifts and by misconstruing the law with respect to such matters. He argued that, had the Chambers judge considered the evidentiary record, she would not have dealt with AB’s application on a summary basis....
