McVeigh found that it was reasonable for the Minister find that the taxpayer did not have financial hardship. His net worth was $295,000 (including a rental property), and his wife had income. The taxpayer was clearly able to afford basic necessities, which is incompatible with a finding of financial hardship. The taxpayer's children were in university, but university is not a basic necessity.
