Tax cases are generally heard at the Tax Court of Canada level. However, an appeal can be filed in the Federal Court of Appeal against the Tax Court decision, and the Supreme Court of Canada renders a final decision if they decide to hear the case. The following case went through all three levels of the judiciary.
