IN RE an application for judicial
review under section 28 of the
Federal Court Act
BETWEEN:
GHISLAINE CLAVET,
Applicant,
- and -
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN,
Respondent.
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the bench at Québec, Quebec
on Wednesday, February 12, 1997)
MARCEAU J.A.
We are all of the view that this application cannot succeed.
It is clear to us that the issue to be resolved by the Tax Court of Canada judge involved only an assessment of facts. Once the facts were established, the application of the law did not present any difficulties. With regard to the facts, there is nothing to suggest that the judge assessed the evidence or interpreted the testimony he heard in a perverse or capricious manner. By stating, as he did, that the applicant had not managed to convince him that the Minister"s allegations were false, which would have been necessary for him to reject them, the judge was ruling as he was required to do and his conclusion must be respected.
The application must be dismissed.
