Roth v. The Queen, 2005 DTC 1570, 2005 TCC 484, aff'd 2007 DTC 5222, 2007 FCA 38 -- summary under Property

By services, 28 November, 2015

Before going on to find that a purported transfer of an undeveloped project by the taxpayer to a corporation as reflected in a journal entry showing $370,000 owing by the corporation to him was ineffective, Bell J. stated (at p. 1579):

"My conclusion is that information, ideas, knowledge and/or know-how, do not fall within the meaning of the words 'property'. They are not exclusive to one person and are not, in that simple form, capable of being described as property."
