In an important addition to the series, this book tells the story of 20
leading revenue law cases. It goes well beyond technical analysis to
explore questions of philosophical depth, historical context and
constitutional significance. The editors have assembled a stellar team
of tax scholars, including historians as well as lawyers, practitioners
as well as academics, to provide a wide range of fresh perspectives on
familiar and unfamiliar decisions. The whole collection is prefaced by
the editors' extended introduction on the peculiar significance of
case-law in revenue matters. This publication is a thought provoking and
engaging showcase of tax writing that is accessible equally to
specialists and non-specialists.
