Question of liability under Customs Act 1911 debated in state court
In the State Full Court judges considered whether an increased duty on potatoes could be passed to buyers under section 152 of the Customs Act. Gill and Son, Colac Cooperative Farm, claimed the buyer should pay the higher duty on 45 bales bought from the seller after the duty rose on 3 December 1914. The court reserved judgment after argument, with councils noting harvesting-season contracts and possible court use of the Shire Hall.
