Ms. Dallaire testified that she had acquired a 50% interest in the property in question as a nominee for a friend, Simon St-Pierre:
[10] During her testimony, Sabrina Dallaire revealed that she had known Alexandre St‑Pierre for about ten years and that he was a friend. However, she was very vague about the circumstances of their initial encounters and frequency of their subsequent encounters. She stated that Alexandre St-Pierre asked her to purchase the immovable because he did not have the financial resources to purchase it himself. She also indicated that she did not owe Alexandre St-Pierre any money and that he was not a biker or a drug dealer.
[11] With respect to the acquisition, management and sale of the immovable, Sabrina Dallaire revealed that she did not visit the immovable prior to acquiring it, that she did not negotiate the hypothecary loan, that she did not sign the tenants’ leases and collect the rents, and that she did not take steps to sell the immovable. More specifically, she indicated that Alexandre St-Pierre collected the rents paid by cheque or in cash and that he gave her the cheques and cash so that she could deposit them in her bank account to make the payments on the hypothec. The net proceeds from the sale of the immovable were also deposited in her own bank account.
Ultimately the Tax Court accepted her evidence:
[28] I do not believe that a young waitress in a bar or restaurant, who was 21 years of age when the immovable was acquired, had the financial ability with her spouse, an autobody repairman in 2007, to qualify on their own for a hypothecary loan of $264,836.25, that is, 98% of the immovable’s purchase price and make monthly hypothecary payments of $1,664.42 when the amount of the gross monthly rents was only $2,145.00.
[29] In my view, someone else had to have intervened to negotiate the terms of the hypothec and guaranteed the repayment and that someone could very well be a person who received a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the immovable. However, I need not decide this issue in the resolution of these appeals.
[30] For these reasons, the appeals are allowed.
