REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
LÉTOURNEAU J.A.
[1] We have not been convinced on the basis of the limited record before us that Bowman A.C.J. of the Tax Court of Canada erred in his appreciation of the applicant's claims on the appeal before him. As the A.C.J. wrote, the applicant "made great efforts to correct the situation created by the original chaotic state of the records and he has succeeded to some extent. However there is only so much that one can do to correct years of disarray".
[2] Unfortunately, the applicant, represented at the hearing before us by its president, did not file an adequate record which would have assisted us in assessing his contentions and complaints about the decision under review.
[3] For these reasons, the application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs.
