Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal was admissible beyond the challenge to the 1995/1996 attempted evasion fine.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it challenged the prescription ruling on the direct federal tax fine for 1995/1996; it was inadmissible for the remainder.
Extracted reasoning
The federal administration's arguments addressed only that fine, so the conclusions had to be read as limited accordingly.
