Appellate Practice in the Supreme Court of Canada 

This session describes: the Court’s process in dealing with applications for leave to appeal; the criteria for obtaining leave with examples of tax cases in which leave was granted, and those issues that would cause the Court to deny leave; the Court’s process in dealing with the appeal itself; and a discussion of some tax cases that dealt with broader issues in addition to specific provision of the Income Tax Act, including statutory interpretation, the General Anti Avoidance Rule, common law, privilege and ethical issues.

 Speaker

The Honourable Marshall Rothstein C.C., Q.C., Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP
