Okalta Oils Limited v. Minister of National Revenue, [1955] CTC 39, 55 DTC 1029 -- text
CAMERON, J.:—This appeal involves questions arising out of an assessment made upon the appellant company in respect of its taxation year ending December 31, 1946. The substantial question is whether the appellant in computing its tax had the right on the particular facts of this case to apply the provisions of Section 8(6) of the Income War Tax Act relating to certain deductions from taxes and applicable in certain circumstances with respect to drilling and exploration costs incurred on oil wells which proved to be unproductive and were abandoned.
