Trusts to ensure obligations fulfilled

Cost of trust interest

    (b) as a consequence of the disposition, the right to enforce payment of the amount is acquired by another person or partnership; and

    (c) if the right to enforce payment of the amount had been satisfied by a payment to the taxpayer by the trust, there would have been no disposition of that right for the purposes of this Act because of the application of paragraph (i) of the definition ``disposition'' in subsection (1).
