In finding that Reg. 7000(2)(d) should not be interpreted so as to require the accrual of interest whose amount was not yet determinable, Owen J stated (at para. 403):
The approach taken in each of paragraphs 7000(2)(a) through (d) is consistent with the general proposition that an amount is not recognized as income under the ITA unless the amount can be ascertained with some reasonable degree of certainty.

Before finding that the consideration in an asset sale represented by the assumption by a purchaser of a future reforestation liability should be heavily discounted from the estimate of its value by the taxpayer's auditors, C. Miller, J. stated (at para. 38) that in the jurisprudence there:
"is a common thread ... that shows the tendency of the Courts to be reluctant to impose tax, regardless of the taxing regime, in situations where the amount could be taxed is uncertain or unascertainable."
