PBSC partners with Dentons to provide assistance to unrepresented appellants appearing before the Tax Court of Canada. The project enables law students, under the careful supervision of Dentons tax litigators, to gain practical experience representing individual, low-income taxpayers before the TCC. Working in teams to represent appellants in the informal procedure (claims under $25,000), students meet with their clients, gather evidence, prepare their arguments, and appear before the Court.
