A W Prociuk (orally: January 24, 1975):
1 The appellant, E A Pollard, appeals from the respondent's reassessment for the taxation year 1972 wherein the sum of $6,500, less $200 allowed by the respondent for legal costs, was added to the appellant's income and taxed accordingly.
2 The appellant's position is that this sum was a capital receipt in respect of damages sustained by him as a result of his employer wrongfully dismissing him without cause.
