Dubé v. Canada - 2011 SCC 39 - [2011] 2 SCR 764 - 2011-07-22
Supreme Court JudgmentsAboriginal law
Taxation
Williams v. Canada, [1992] 1 S.C.R. 877, could be read as suggesting that it should because, as noted in Bastien, there are some parallels between the unemployment insurance benefits at issue in Williams and the interest income in issue here. [...] [25] In Williams, the entitlement to the benefits in issue was earned through qualifying employment. [...] There is an analogy between the qualifying employment in Williams and the capital invested in this case: in Williams, it was the employment that gave rise to the benefits, and in this case, the capital is what gave rise to the interest.

The London & Lancashire Guarantee & Accident Co. of Canada v. Canadian Marconi Company - [1963] SCR 106 - 1962-12-17
Supreme Court JudgmentsInsurance
Mr. Williams was killed as the result of an accident which occurred at 6:35 p.m. on July 22, 1956, while he was driving alone to the Dorval Airport, and when, after swerving back and forth across the highway a number of times, his car left the right-hand side of Côte de Liesse Road and collided with a large tree. [...] The remarkable feature of this case, however, is that although Mr. Williams was said to be "perfectly normal" an hour before death after having had two drinks of whisky, the blood test made three days later is consistent with his having consumed the equivalent of approximately 16 ounces of whisky during the day of his [...] ... I would conclude that the Appellant did not discharge the burden imposed by the civil law of proving according to the balance of probabilities that Williams was intoxicated at the time of the accident which caused his death and I would dismiss the present appeal with costs.
