Questão jurídica principal
Whether renovation costs for the newly acquired, neglected property were deductible under the Dumont practice
Decisão extraída
The property was a neglected object under the former Dumont practice, so the requested additional deduction was not allowed.
Fundamentação extraída
The house was old, had evident accumulated maintenance needs, and the works went beyond ordinary upkeep; the renovation expenses were also very large relative to the purchase price.
