Administrative law 2022 FCA 90

Cyr v. Batchewana First Nation of Ojibways

The eviction arose from private contractual rights under the Sale Agreement and the Housing Authority acted as the Band's agent enforcing those private law rights; therefore the respondents were not a "federal board, commission or other tribunal" for the purposes of s.18(1) of the Federal Courts Act and the Federal Court lacked jurisdiction to judicially review the eviction; appeal dismissed.

  • Band council authority

Tax (gst/hst) 2019 TCC 197

Lohas Farm Inc. v. The Queen

Court found on the evidence that an agency relationship existed between Lohas and the buyers based on conduct, control and authority, so Lohas could claim ITCs for purchases made through agents; however several Apple receipts and cash‑paid transactions failed to meet the ITC Regulations requirement to show the recipient’s name or the recipient's duly authorized agent, therefore specified ITCs were disallowed and the assessments were referred back to the Minister for reconsideration and reassessment.

  • Input tax credits
  • Agency relationship
  • Documentation requirements under itc regulations
  • Burden of proof/assumptions

Taxation 2017 FCA 151

Club Intrawest v. Canada

The Tax Court correctly found no agency relationship and that the resort fees constituted consideration for a single supply of services, but erred by dissecting the single supply into constituent elements for place-of-supply analysis; the Federal Court of Appeal holds GST is exigible only on the portion of resort fees attributable to services in relation to Canadian real property and remits assessments to the Minister for reassessment allocating consideration to Canadian property-related membership costs.

  • Goods and services tax
  • Place-of-supply rules (s.142 eta)
  • Agency relationship
  • Beneficial ownership
  • Characterization of supplies
  • Allocation of consideration

Tax law 2013 FCA 260

GF Partnership v. Canada

The Tax Court judge correctly construed the purchase agreements as not creating an agency; development charges formed part of the purchase price and purchasers had no direct liability; the appellant did not pay or credit additional New Housing Rebates as required for s.296(2) and s.296(2.1) does not give the appellant the deduction it seeks, therefore the appeal is dismissed.

  • Goods and services tax
  • New housing rebate
  • Development charges
  • Purchase and sale agreement construction
  • Agency relationship

Tax law 2012 TCC 108

Blackmore v. The Queen

Apply Rule 100(3) discretionally: admit only those additional discovery passages that genuinely qualify or explain the respondent's read‑ins by continuity of subject‑matter and fairness; on that basis admit the appellant's proposed additional read‑ins numbered 2 and 3 and refuse number 1 because it concerns a different subject area and does not qualify or explain the respondent's read‑in.

  • Examination for discovery
  • Read-ins (rule 100(3))
  • Admissibility
  • Qualifying/explaining evidence
  • Agency relationship
  • Uep trust
