Whether the payment made to a stock exchange for shortfall in margin money constitutes an inadmissible "penalty" disallowable under s. 37 was the dominant issue. Relying on binding precedent holding that such sums are compensatory in nature and incurred in the course of business, the tribunal held that the payment cannot be treated as an offence-related penalty attracting disallowance under s. 37.
