Docket: T-2214-97

BETWEEN:

     DONALD L. GRANT

     Applicant

     - and -

     MINISTER OF NATIONAL REVENUE

     Respondent

     REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER

REED J.

[1]      The information before me does not demonstrate that the decision maker(s) considered all the relevant facts on which Mr. Grant's application for a section 220(3.1) waiver was based;

[2]      Particularly, the failure to describe the department's practice and whether or not that was followed in Mr. Grant's case;

[3]      These considerations would be relevant in a situation such as that in which Mr. Grant found himself, where he was relying upon tax advisers, he moved geographical location and changed tax advisers;

[4]      For the reasons given, then the decision under review (the decision of January 27, 1997 by Mr. Salvatore) is set aside and Mr. Grant's request is referred back for reconsideration by different departmental officials.
