The Queen v. Yelle, 2010 DTC 5128 [at at 7083], 2010 ABPC 94 -- summary under Paragraph 251(1)(c)

The taxpayer, who was a member of a partnership, was accused of tax evasion under s. 239(1)(a) in connection with capital cost allowance claims made by the partnership on software that it had purchased at an allegedly inflated price from a vendor who was alleged not to deal at arm's length with the partnership. In denying the taxpayer's motion for a directed verdict, Fradsham J. noted at para. 26 that the "taxpayer" referred to in s. 69(1)(a) can be a partnership, and at para. 35 that in the phrase "where a taxpayer has acquired anything from a person whom the taxpayer was not dealing at arm's length," the "when" refers to the time of the "dealing" rather than the subsequent time that the acquired property is transferred.
