Income tax 2010 TCC 279

Kossow v. The Queen

The court exercised its discretion under Rule 53 and its case management authority to end further discovery because extensive prior discovery had occurred, the marginal value of additional documents was insufficient to justify further delay, and no reasonable prospect existed that pending appellate decisions required postponement. Consequently the Appellant's motion for further disclosure was dismissed and the matter was set for trial to resolve substantive issues including whether the donations constituted gifts or engaged GAAR.
