Notice of motion of the opposing party, Anne Duchesnay, for the purpose of obtaining an order in opposition to the seizure of movable property in execution carried out in this proceeding on January 18, 2001 having regard to the property stated in the seizure report.

(Art. 596 of the C.C.P.)


ORDER AND REASONS

[1]         Anne Duchesnay is opposing the seizure of movable property in execution carried out on January 18, 2001. She is asking that it be set aside on the ground that there is no outstanding debt (other than the 1999 assessment). She relies on a letter written by Mr. Louis Sébastien, a lawyer with Justice Canada, on February 10, 2000.

[2]         This motion is dismissed with costs.

[3]         In my opinion, the first paragraph of the letter of February 10, 2000 written by Mr. Sébastien does not constitute either a waiver of unpaid taxes or a waiver of the amount offered in settlement. This letter simply indicates the amount owing as of that date to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. The indicated amount could be updated after the applicant's objection was determined.
