REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on January 24, 2006)
[1] We are all of the view that this appeal must be dismissed. It was reasonably open to the Tax Court Judge, based on the evidence before him, to conclude that the payment made to the respondent was not a payment made in respect of the respondent's employment, so as to bring it within section 5 or section 6 of the Income Tax Act. Nor have we detected any error of law in the reasons for decision.
[2] This appeal will be dismissed with costs.
