disposition where abusus (right to dispose) of a building was transferred
Before finding that the taxpayer had disposed of buildings, Tremblay TCJ stated (at para. 4.03.10) that under the English version of s. 248(3) “the concept of ‘beneficial ownership’ is closely bound up with the abusus held in respect of a property, which is to say the right to dispose of the property as the holder sees fit,” and stated that here “it is clear that the abusus in respect of the buildings sold was transferred.”
