Interac e-Transfer is Canada's funds transfer system that allows users to send money via email or text message. Upon receiving a fund transfer, receiving party would normally log into the bank account to receive the money. The receiving party also has the option to register their email/sms so that the money is deposited automatically, and this option touted as more secured in the event that the email is compromised. Therefore, if the money was indeed sent through e-Transfer, then it is possible that the Couple received the compensation without any positive action. I am not sure if one could make the argument that the onus is on the Couple to actively reject the compensation and reverse the transfer.
