The Queen v. Yelle, 2010 DTC 5128 [at at 7083], 2010 ABPC 94 -- summary under Paragraph 69(1)(a)

The taxpayer, who was a member of a partnership, was accused 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.
