S. v. T.

The court set aside only the term fixing the purchase price of the mother's company shares because the father failed to disclose a relevant 2019 valuation (procedural unfairness under s.93(3)(a)), but upheld the remainder of the separation agreement.

Suncor Energy Inc. v. Canada

Where a transferee is deemed by subsection 13(31) to have acquired depreciable property at a time before the transferee existed, the necessary implication for the limited purpose of paragraph 13(27)(b) is that the deemed acquisition be treated as occurring in what would have been the transferee’s taxation year (determined by the fiscal period the transferee later adopts) so that the paragraph 13(27)(b) timing runs; applying that rule, the MCU properties were available for use in the Limited Partnership’s fiscal period ending January 31, 2007 and Suncor’s appeal is allowed.

Re Atlantic Sea Cucumber Limited

The Registrar held that the effective date of bankruptcy was the expiry of the NOI period (July 17, 2023), not the later OSB certificate date; evidence of AGAH’s Canadian-dollar account advances was admissible and the trustee acted within reasonable business judgment in allowing the aggregated claim; WTH failed to meet the burden under s.135(5) BIA to establish the trustee erred or was unreasonable; accordingly AGAH’s unsecured provable claim is fixed at $2,163,316.58 as of July 17, 2023 and each party bears its own costs.
