Far reaching judgement may cause upsets for property sales

Far reaching judgement may cause upsets for property sales

The Supreme Court of Appeals recently delivered two far-reaching judgments, with detrimental consequences for the taxpayer. The latest case, delivered in May has far reaching consequences for companies wanting to sell unused land.

The first, on 1 December 2010, was the NWK case and the most recent on May 10 2011, was the Founders Hill case. Neither judgment was in the taxpayer's favour, and there is a growing fear that a new trend has started at the Supreme Court of Appeal against the taxpayer. In the NWK case, more than a century worth of good precedent was strangely interpreted to arrive at a judgement against the taxpayer.
