Woodward Stores Ltd. v. The Queen, 91 DTC 5090, [1991] 1 CTC 233 (FCTD) -- summary under Subsection 45(2)

By services, 28 November, 2015

Before finding that the introduction of paragraph 12(1)(x) effected a change in the law, Joyal J. stated (p. 5100):

"[s.45(2)] simply states that there is no presumption that a legislative amendment indicates a change in the law. This cannot mean that an amendment can never be interpreted as reflecting a change in the law, especially when there is external evidence to that effect."
