A Canadian man has to repay his ex-fiancee for the cost of engagement rings he bought using her credit card.
Corinne Mckay took Mike Mclaughlin to court to get back the C$3,490 ($2,640; £2,032) he spent on the jewellery.
The pair from the province of British Columbia broke up a few months after their engagement.
The tribunal that heard the case also dismissed a counterclaim by Mr Mclaughlin arguing Ms Mckay had kept some of his belongings after the split.
The case was heard by British Columbia's Civil Resolution Tribunal, which resolves small claims disputes.
According to the tribunal's decision, released earlier this month, Mr Mclaughlin told his then-girlfriend that he wanted to buy an engagement ring and to ask for her hand in marriage.
But there was a snag. Ms Mckay told the tribunal that since he did not have his own credit card, he asked to borrow hers.
She agreed on the condition that he repay her in full for the purchase, on a payment plan of C$500 a month.
He later also purchased his own ring with matching pink gemstones and charged it to her card.
