The defendant, Harry Pettipas, has four sons: Gregory, Blake, Trevor and Michael. Three of Harrys four sons commenced separate actions against him to recover a share of the profits realized upon the sale of property located at 56th Avenue, in Langley, B.C. Gregory and Blakes actions were dismissed and no appeals were filed. The remaining action before me involves a claim by Michael that he is entitled to a share in the sale proceeds from the 56th Avenue property due to work he performed on the property. Michael also claims that he is entitled to an interest in a company operated by Harry entitled Tripett Enterprises Inc. (Tripett), which manufactures dog food made from tripe. Lastly, Michael claims restitution for the work done in respect of a company called GLT Gemstar Limousine Technologies International Inc. (GLT).

As a result of Harrys failure to honour the terms of their joint venture agreement, Michael claims GLT lost substantial profits and he was never paid the wages promised by his father....
