Federal Commissioner of Taxation v. St. Helens Farm (A.C.T.) Pty. Limited.

Judges: Barwick CJ
Gibbs J
Stephen J
Mason J
Murphy J
Aickin J

Wilson J

Court:
Full High Court

Judgment date: Judgment handed down 11 February 1981.

Wilson J.

In these appeals, save with respect to the matter I am about to mention, I agree generally with the reasons for judgment which have been prepared by Mason J. The reservation concerns the authority of the decision of this Court in
Ord Forrest Pty. Ltd. v. F.C. of T. 74 ATC 4034 ; (1973-74) 130 C.L.R. 124 , a case in which the four members who constituted the Full Court were equally divided in opinion. Although I agree with the decisions, I consider that it ought not be regarded as a binding decision for the reasons developed in his judgment by Aickin J.

I would therefore allow the appeals of the Commissioner so far as they relate to sec. 18(1)(a), and dismiss the cross-appeals.
