Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings  pension  as income 

Summary:

Amendments of para. 57(3)(a) and 57(2)(e) in 1-86 demonstrate clearly that Parliament has effectively withdrawn pension payments from those sources of income which are not allocable as earnings.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  rules of construction  specific clause 

Summary:

Since para. 57(2)(e) deals specifically with pensions and para. 57(3)(h) deals generally with monies, the normal interpretive rule is that a specific provision must prevail over a general one applies.
