Falconar Stewart v Wilkies: SCS 16 Mar 1892

A person disponed heritable estate to persons in a certain order of succession ‘under this declaration, burden, and condition, that in the event of any part of the said lands and estate . . that may remain unsold at my death being thereafter sold or disposed of or excambed by any proprietor or possessor of the same, or adjudged or attempted to be adjudged or carried away in any manner of way for his or her debt, that then and in any of these events there shall be paid out of the price of the lands . . if and when sold, or created a real lien and burden upon the same if they shall remain unsold, to and in favour of such of the children of G. F. as may then be in existence, or to their heirs equally to and among them, the sum of pounds 10,000.’ . . One of the proprietors of the estate under this disposition gratuitously disponed it to a line of heirs so that shortly the estate would be given to a person not within the line originally pointed out.
Held that there was an obligation upon such person on succeeding to the estate to create a real burden over it for the sum of pounds 10,000 in favour of the children of G. F. or their heirs.

Aberdeen Asset Management Plc v HM Revenue and Customs: SCS 23 Oct 2013

Inner House – The Court analysed the nature of the rights which a tax avoidance scheme, involving an offshore employee benefits trust and family benefit trusts and shares in Isle of Man companies, had conferred on the relevant employees. The employing company had accepted that the sums which it had paid though the employee benefits trust to an Isle of Man company were taxable as emoluments and that the scheme was ineffective to reduce the value of those emoluments. The question was whether the employing company was liable to pay the tax under the PAYE system or the benefited employees individually should pay. The issue, to which the gloss was unexceptionably applied, was whether the money in an Isle of Man company, whose shares the employee had acquired through the scheme, was to be treated as being received by the employee so that there was ‘payment’ within the meaning of section 203 of ICTA and the 1993 Regulations.
Held: Lord Drummond Young said: ‘In considering what amounts to payment for the purposes of the PAYE legislation, it is important in my opinion to bear in mind that money is a medium of exchange. In practical terms, therefore, the crucial question is whether funds have been placed in a position where as a practical matter they may be spent by the employee as he wishes; it is at that point that the employee can be said to obtain the benefit of those funds. If the PAYE legislation is construed purposively it is in my view obvious that it is such a benefit that is to be taxed. For this purpose it is not appropriate to deconstruct the precise legal nature of the employee’s rights, drawing fine distinctions according to the methods that he must adopt in order to use the funds for his benefit. The fact that the employee has practical control over the disposal of the funds is sufficient to constitute a payment for the purposes of the legislation.’

Ben Henderson and Perth and Kinross Council: SIC 5 Jan 2012

Mr Ben Henderson asked Perth and Kinross Council (the Council) for (a) information relating to the actions and practices of Building Standards staff which resulted in recent disciplinary action, and (b) information on actions or practices of staff in the past which gave reason for suspicion that Council staff, particularly those from the Building Standards and Planning section, may have been involved in similar actions or practices prior to the current case. The Council refused to disclose the information on the basis that it was exempt from disclosure under sections 30(c) (effective conduct of public affairs) and 38(1)(b) (personal data) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). Following a review, Mr Henderson remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had partially failed to deal with Mr Henderson’s request for information in accordance with Part 1 of FOISA.
The Commissioner found that by applying the exemption in section 38(1)(b) of FOISA to all of the withheld information, which fell within scope of part (a) of Mr Henderson’s request, the Council complied with Part 1.
However, in failing to notify Mr Henderson that it does not (and did not at the time of Mr Henderson’s request) hold any relevant recorded information which would address part (b) of his request, the Council failed to comply with Part 1 and in particular section 17(1) of FOISA. Since this decision makes the position clear on this point, the Commissioner did not require the Council to take any action in relation to this breach.

Multi-Link Leisure Developments v North Lanarkshire Council: SCS 30 Dec 2009

Landlords appealed against a ruling that the ‘full market value’ of the presents to be paid by the tenants on exercising an option contained in their lease was to be set by reference to its intended use.
Held: The appeal succeeded. The words ‘full market value’ were to be construed as meaning what they said. Considerations which might be relevant to market value were not to be ignored unless there were express words to that effect. Decree was pronounced in terms of the conclusion to the landlords’ counterclaim, to the effect that the contract resulting from the exercise of the option clause had been rescinded, the option was spent and it could not be exercised during the remaining term of the lease.

Bruce and Others (Fishermen of Boddam) v Aiton: SCS 16 Dec 1885

The proprietor of a harbour who exacts harbour dues is bound, so far as these dues will go, to light and otherwise maintain the harbour.
The proprietor of a harbour was sued by the fishermen using it for declarator that he was bound to maintain and exhibit at his own expense certain specified lights, and to have him ordained to do so. It was proved that the harbour dues yielded a revenue to the proprietor, but that the revenue was not enough to provide for the lights and also to pay the interest on a sum of money expended by him on improvements on the harbour executed by him under a Provisional Order obtained from the Board of Trade. The Court held that under the local statutes and the relative Provisional Order of the Board of Trade applicable to the harbour, the proprietor was bound to apply the revenue derived from the harbour dues to the maintenance of the harbour (which includes lighting) in the first instance till they were exhausted, if necessary, and that the pursuers were entitled to declarator to that effect, the particular manner in which the obligation was to be carried out being left to be prescribed by the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses.

Newlands v M’Kinlay: SCS 16 Dec 1885

In an action for payment of the balance of an account one of the entries in the account sued upon was a cash advance of pounds 300. The pursuer recovered from the defender, under a diligence against havers, a cash-book kept by him while manager of his father’s business (to which he had succeeded at the date of the action), containing this entry, ’13th July 1874. To Alexander M’Kinlay, per W. H. R., pounds 300.’ The pursuer then referred the constitution of the debt of pounds 300 to the defender’s oath. The defender deponed that the entry in the cash-book was made for the purpose of recording the receipt by him of pounds 300 from Newlands, the pursuer, on that day, and that the original entry had been ‘per W. N.’ over which he had superinduced the letters ‘W. H. R.’ The defender further deponed that the money had been repaid. Held (1) that the debt had not been proved scripto; (2) that the qualification of repayment was intrinsic of the defender’s oath. Defender assoilzied.

Paterson’s Trustees v Caledonian Heritable Security Co (Ltd), and Liquidator: SCS 17 Dec 1885

A heritable security company, the objects of which were to lend money on heritable security, and to ‘receive money by way of loan by cash-credit, debenture, deposit, or otherwise,’ and to do all such things as were conducive to these objects, received through their manager a loan, which he applied to the purchase of heritable property over which the company had lent money on a postponed bond, and which the prior bondholder had brought to sale. There being a doubt as to the company’s power to hold heritage, the manager made the purchase in his own name; he also granted the lender a bond for his money over the subjects. The company and its liquidator afterwards disputed liability for the loan, on the ground that the company had no authority to purchase or hold heritable property, that the manager was the proper debtor, and that he had no authority from the directors for the transaction. Held that the company having borrowed the money through its proper officer, who was entitled to accept money on loan, the lender had no concern with inquiring into its powers to apply it, and was therefore entitled to demand repayment.
Opinions that the purchase by such a company of heritage in order to avoid a sacrifice of its loan was not ultra vires.

The object of the proceedings was to protect the confidentiality of documents disclosing certain identities, and an order designed to achieve that objective had previously been made by the court.
Held: The court permitted the identities of the applicants to be withheld from public disclosure. The disclosure of their identities would be inconsistent with that order and would undermine the confidentiality which the proceedings were intended to preserve.
The court must have regard not only to the justice of its decision, but also to the justice of the procedures by which it gives it. It therefore had the inherent power, in his opinion, to withhold the identity of a party where, regardless of the outcome of the case, the disclosure of that party’s identity would constitute an injustice to him.
