Kligman v. MNR, 2003 DTC 5100 (FCTD)

The applicants received letters entitled Requirement to Provide Information and Documents With Respect to Donations Made For Charitable Organizations

The record as a whole including testimony of CCRA investigators indicated that the predominant purpose of the investigation giving rise to the Requirements was prosecution of the applicants for tax evasion. The Requirements issued to the individual applicants were ordered to be quashed, whereas those issued to the corporate applicants were upheld given that the privacy interests of corporate entities are minimal as compared with those of individuals.
