REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on May 26, 2005)

NOËL J.A.

[1]                The appellant lost his appeals before the Tax Court of Canada because the witness on which he relied was found to be not credible.

[2]                We do not agree with counsel's submissions that the evidence otherwise adduced before the Tax Court Judge precluded this finding.


[3]                The appeals will be dismissed with one set of costs.
