The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by

THE CHIEF JUSTICE—It will not be necessary to hear you, Mr. Chamberland. We are all of the opinion that the Court of Appeal did not err in holding that the payment of $148,887 on December 8, 1971, was not made in fulfilment of a financial obligation resulting from a loan of money. Consequently, the appeal is dismissed with costs.

Appeal dismissed with costs.

Solicitors for the appellant: St-Hilaire, de Blois, Leclerc, Gingras, Delage & Leblanc, Quebec City.

Solicitors for the respondent: Ogilvy, Montgomery, Renault, Clarke, Kirkpatrick, Hannon & Howard, Montreal.
