REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Pronounced at the hearing in Québec

Monday, April 28, 1997.)



DÉCARY J.A.


     The Minister excepted the applicant"s employment on the ground, essentially, that the salary being paid to her by her husband, the payer, was higher than the salary he would have paid an employee who was not his wife.

     This ground does not withstand analysis. No evidence to this effect was produced to the Minister and the evidence before the deputy judge of the Tax Court of Canada showed that the payer, before deciding on the amount of the salary he would pay to the applicant, had made enquiries into the amount generally paid for such employment (lunch-counter management) and had adopted an amount situated in the average of the wages that were being paid.

     We are of the opinion, in the circumstances, that a rehearing is necessary before another member of the Court.

     The application for judicial review will be allowed, the decision of the Tax Court will be set aside and the matter will be referred back to that Court for a rehearing.
