REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Montréal, Quebec, on November 5, 2012)
NADON J.A.
[1] We are all agreed, substantially for the reasons given by the Tax Court judge, that the J.J. Herbert family Trust No. 1 resolution of September 11, 2001 whereby the trustees declared that a dividend of $2,200,003 “be paid” to Mr. J.J. Herbert and that Mr Herbert “shall have the right at any time to require payment of the amount of the dividend by the Trust to himself at any time” did not constitute a credit to Mr. Herbert’s account.
[2] In so concluding, we are not to be taken as endorsing the judge’s reasons with respect to subsection 227(5) of the Income Tax Act.
[3] Consequently, this appeal cannot succeed and will therefore be dismissed with costs.
"M. Nadon"
