Did Matthews have a connection with Rousseau? Was that the quid pro quo for putting Rousseau into the deal? ...

Although there are, no doubt, other applicable criteria, it would seem to me that bonuses that do not meet these criteria would simply be a profit-sharing arrangement having no connection with the earning of income and would therefore not be considered as deductible outlays or expenses. ...

Based on comparable sales of properties and verified through the land titles office, the report indicates that land used for redevelopment is just over $2 a square foot but that the land in connection with properties purchased as rental houses has a value of $1 to $1.50 a square foot. ...

In this connection, it may be assumed that a court which convicts a taxpayer on account of violation of certain duties under the Income Tax Act, has taken into account whether or not the Minister has already imposed a penalty. ...

I think that they received somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1.80 per share which perhaps indicates that they did not hold long enough or perhaps, on the other hand, that it was prudent to sell this stock at that time and take the profits that they had hoped for when they went into the transaction. 12 The other enterprise, of course, concerns the Pathfinder shares in connection with which the family company, Glacier, along with Mrs McGraw's Burnbank company entered into a grub staking agreement with one Oates and subsequently received for their participation 308,750 shares of Pathfinder Resources Limited. ...

It was established in this appeal that the payments made to the wife in the first three years of the agreement were exclusively interest payments on the mortgage. 26 In the light of the facts of this appeal, and the case law cited at the hearing dealing with the essence of maintenance and alimony payments, I conclude that the payments of interest and capital on the $65,000 mortgage given by the husband to his estranged wife in the years 1968, 1969 and 1970, though they may have been the result of a transfer of assets to ensure the financial security of the wife and child, were not alimony payments within the meaning of paragraph 11(1)(l) of the Act, and are not deductible as such by the husband. 27 In deciding that the payments made by the husband to his wife in the years pertinent to this appeal in connection with the said mortgage were not periodic maintenance payments made pursuant to a written agreement within the meaning of the Act and therefore not deductible by George Douglas Allen, I feel that I have determined the pertinent issue in this appeal. ...

Mr Berman was no doubt involved in various trading transactions in the said land ever since 1959. 17 However, other than oral statements of Mr Berman that he had had long negotiations with Ivanhoe and Steinberg's in connection with the shopping centre project, the appellant produced no evidence which might contradict the facts as they appear on the written record or which might even indicate that Mr Berman, at that period of time, was one of the promoters of, or that he was in any way involved with, the development of the shopping centre; and there is, of course, even less evidence, written or oral, that might indicate that Mr Berman's purpose in 1959 in acquiring Jay-El-Jay and Norman Holdings' minority interest in the undivided land was to invest in the development of a shopping centre. ...
