After finding against the taxpayer on other grounds, Campbell Miller, J. found that s. 250(5) would not cause a Barbados trust, that was intended under a tax plan to be deemed by s. 94(1)(c)(i) to be resident in Canada for purposes of Part I of the Act, to be deemed not to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Act. First, in order for s. 250(5) to apply, the trust was required to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Act, whereas under s. 94(1)(c)(i), it was only deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of Part I, second, as there is no application of the tie-breaker rules in the Canada-Barbados treaty, the trust had not been found not to be resident in Canada under that treaty.
