Cox v. The Queen, 96 DTC 1690 (TCC)

The fact that a transfer of property from the taxpayer's spouse to the taxpayer was void against the trustee in bankruptcy of the spouse did not prevent the application of s. 160(1) to the taxpayer given that the proper interpretation of the Bankruptcy Act was that the trustee had to do something to render the transaction void, which did not occur.
