In April this blog noted the decision by the ACT Civil & Administrative Tribunal in Kennedy v Commissioner for ACT Revenue [2010] ACAT 17, a dispute that involved what the Tribunal found were unpersuasive arguments about the inability of the ACT government to impose charges on residential property lease.
Mr Kennedy, holder of a Masters law degree, was employed by the Commissioner for ACT Revenue at the time of the contentious transactions.
The decision by the Tribunal has now been upheld, in Kurt Alim Kennedy & Commissioner For ACT Revenue (Administrative Review) [2010] ACAT 55.
