Ipsco Inc. v. The Queen, 2002 DTC 1421 (TCC) -- summary under Paragraph (e)

A lump sum which the taxpayer received in settlement of an action it brought because a "quench and temper" pipe treatment system that had been installed at its pipe manufacturing plant did not perform to specifications, was an exempt receipt rather than proceeds of disposition of depreciable property. There was no disposition of depreciable property on general principles (as the taxpayer did not abandon or transfer its assets), nor was there "compensation for property injuriously affected" under paragraph (e) of the definition of "proceeds of disposition" given that this phrase referred only to consequential damage to other property where expropriation of a particular property had occurred. The lump sum also was not proceeds of disposition under (f) of the definition as no property of the taxpayer had been damaged.
