REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE
COURT
(Delivered
from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on April 18, 2007)
PELLETIER
J.A.
[1]
This
appeal and the companion appeal in A-498-05 turn on the Tax Court Judge's
finding that the "racing" deductions claimed by Lakeway and Mr.
Varcoe were not made for the primary purpose of producing income. That is a
finding of fact based upon an assessment of Mr. Varcoe's credibility.
[2]
There
was evidence upon which the Tax Court Judge could come to the conclusion she
did. In the circumstances, we are not in a position to intervene, despite Mr.
Baril's best efforts.
[3]
The
appeal will be dismissed with one set of costs, with disbursement in both
appeals.
