    Murdoch Case

    The Murdoch Case, a.k.a. Murdoch v. Murdoch, was heard by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1973. The case involved matrimonial property law. In its ruling, the Court decided that a wife was not entitled, as part of her divorce settlement, to any part of a property she helped run with her husband. The lone dissenting opinion, written by Justice Bora Laskin shortly before he was named the Court’s chief justice, focused on the issue of equity. His findings proved more influential than the Court’s ruling, eventually leading to reforms in provincial matrimonial property laws across Canada.

    Mushroom and Puffball

    Mushrooms and puffballs are fleshy, spore-bearing fruitbodies produced by many club fungi (Basidiomycetes) and a few sac fungi (Ascomycetes). Such fungi may be saprophytes, living on and causing decay of organic matter; symbionts, living in association with tree roots to their mutual advantage; plant parasites, carnivores, poisoning and digesting microscopic worms; or soil-inhabiting species, where mycelium (a mass of filaments forming the vegetative body of the fungus are lichenized) grows indefinitely. Fruitbodies are produced when conditions are favourable.
