Re Stockport
What happened in the Tempest V Kilner case?
Respondent sought to deduct interest on short term loan from his income for purpose of assessing liability to pay tax. Income Tax Act 1952, 'the amount of interest annuties or other annual interest' to be deducted from income is allowed. 'interest' was interpreted as annual interest.
Court had to decide if a floor used for storage came under the Factories Act 1961. Whereby 'floors, steps, stairs, passageways, gangways' had to be free from obstruction. Court held the words were for passageways so the floor used exclusively for storage was not within the Act.
'gun, pistol, bludgeon, cutlass or other offensive weapon' did not include a piece of glass.
'stab, cut or wound' did not include biting
'cathedral, collegiate, chapter and other schools' meant church schools.
'goods, ware, merchandise' did not include stocks and shares
