Analysis: Not a lawyer but this is a massive precedent for anyone who may be a 'poker pro' in Canada. If even Duhamel, a sponsored pro isn't considered a pro in the eyes of the law, what about the typical winner? With the Radonjic case, the precedent now feels very strong against taxation. I doubt the CRA will be attempting to shake down poker players for pocket change in the near future.
Does it count as legal precedent if the news article is written in french ?

Nice to finally see a conclusion from the case, wonder if pokernews will pick it up as well / someone will post court documents or something more than this small french post

Here is an adequate translation to the article (albeit French is obviously richer as a language) : https://actualnewsmagazine.com/engli...st-the-taxman/

Looks like his lawyer convinced the judges in their ivory tower that Duhamel wasn’t really a pro. Lolz.

I wonder if the fact he was a sponsored pro saved him? Like, he wasn’t considered a professional bc PokerStars was his employer.

Don't think it was related, tbh... As a side-note : he did pay taxes on his Stars sponsorship, never on his poker winnings.

Here's the entire decision/transcript of the case (in French—easily translatable) for those interested:
