REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on January 15, 2013)

[1]               The appellant A&T Tire & Wheel Ltd. is appealing the judgment of Justice Hogan of the Tax Court of Canada (2012 TCC 150) confirming the Minister’s determination that from January 1, 2007 to August 1, 2009, five individuals were employed by A&T Tire & Wheel Ltd. in insurable employment as defined in paragraph 5(1)(a) of the Employment Insurance Act, S.C. 1996, c. 23, and pensionable employment as defined in paragraph 6(1)(a) of the Canada Pension Plan, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-8.

 

[2]               The grounds of appeal essentially challenge Justice Hogan’s factual findings and the weight he gave to the factors from Wiebe Door Services Ltd. v. M.N.R., [1986] 3 F.C. 553 (C.A.). None of those grounds of appeal can succeed in the absence of palpable and overriding error. Having reviewed the record and Justice Hogan’s careful and thorough reasons, and having considered the written and oral submissions of A&T Tire & Wheel Ltd., we are unable to detect any such error.

 

[3]               The appeal will be dismissed with costs.
