Raynold Langlois, Q.C., and Dominique Pion, for the appellant. Yves Alain and Jules Brière, for the respondent. //Gonthier J.// English version of the judgment of the Court delivered orally by Gonthier J. ‑‑ For the reasons given by the trial judge, we are all of the view that the action is without foundation. There is no contradiction or incompatibility between s. 13 of the appellant's Charter and s. 486 of the Cities and Towns Act. These are distinct taxation powers which co-exist. The one granted by s. 13 is not subject according to its very wording to the requirement of taxation by annual by-law provided for in s. 486. Only the tax rate is annual. Accordingly the appeal is allowed and the judgment of the Superior Court restored. The action is dismissed with costs throughout in favour of the appellant. Judgment accordingly. Solicitors for the appellant: Langlois Robert, Montreal. Solicitors for the respondent: Hickson Martin Blanchard, Sillery.
