Domicile test
According to the common law definition of s6(1) ITAA 1936.
Resident of Australia means, a person other than a company who resides in Australia and includes a person. Use the domicile test to discuss Peter and his wife to confirm residency.
Domicile test means: A person who’s domicile is in Australia (in this case by choice) will be deemed to be a resident, unless the Commissioner is satisfied that his permanent place of abode is outside Australia.
Clearly Peter is a domicile of Australia as his permanent home in the everlasting sense remains australia as he shows no intention to migrate to Brunei, but merely to live in Brunei for a number of years.

Even though they planned to return to Australia (similar to Peter) is only relevant to domicile not their residence. The Commissioner held in the in the Applegate case that the taxpayer had a permanent place of abode outside Australia. Therefore the Applegate exception can be applied to the Peter case.
The Taxation Ruling No. IT 2650, Permanent Place of Abode outside of Australia provides guidelines for determining whether individuals leaving Australia to live overseas cease to become Australian residents for tax purposes during their time away. The length of time overseas, is generally two years in the context of all the other factors.
Taxation Ruling TR 98/17 should also be considered in this case, as it suggests that the termination of a taxpayer’s residence is a question of fact which is determined on a year by year basis. Peter was not intention to stay longer cause he wished to start a new private practice in Australia. As per Jenkins V FCT, where Applegate was applied by the

Goodhand was offered immediate employment and paid compensation for sacrificing his professional status, he changed from one employment with an established firm to another newly established firm and was paid for protection against the risk involved in moving as the company had only been operational for 3 years. Held that the money was taxable. The court felt that he was not being compensated for giving up the security of his previous well established employer but was compensated for taking on the risk of working for the newly established
Answer: Judgment for Alfalfa. Alfalfa was in trouble when he was climbing and Darla rescued him from an almost certain serious injury or death. It was a legally sufficient value since Darla did not have to perform such an act, but she did. Afterwards, Alfalfa promised her a check of $1,000, which qualifies for a bargained-for exchange. However, this promise was made in the event when the action already took place. Therefore, there is a past consideration and does not need to be enforced.
The second issue is whether or not the defendant has an obligation to reimburse for an injury. The outcome of this second issue depends whether or not it is rational for the defendant to have to pa...
Liability in restitution with disgorgement of profit is an alternative to liability for contract damages measured by injury to the promisee.” (2011)
Under these circumstances, the court agreed that Summit had no reason to know or suspect that Kellar was working before her shift. Kellar’s wage payment claim under Indiana law was derivative of her FLSA claim, it failed for the same reasons. Thus, the Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment on both claims in Summit’s favor.
This-case-study-examines the distinctions between a contract of service and a contract for service in order to determine whether “Mr Hemingway” and crewmembers are employees of the taxpayer (Dominic B Fishing Pty Ltd (“DBF”)). In this report, an analysis based on the multi-factor test from the case of Hollis-v-Vabu - (“HV”), will be applied to determine if Hemingway is an employee, thereby an obligation to make superannuation contributions to its employees is required by the tax payer. However, it was recently decided in the Full Federal Court in ACE-v-Trifunovski held that there is “no single or unifying test to determine whether or not contract of employment exists.” Nonetheless, the multi-factor test is important in analysing this case.
The decision in Equuscorp is significant, as it has made clear several principles that were once ambiguous under Australian law. It ratifies that restitutionary remedies are unavailable for a claim for money had and received where recovery would reduce coherence in the law. Furthermore, Equuscorp has confirmed that a bare cause of action can be assigned where the assignee has a genuine commercial interest in its enforcement.
Under Australia’s current marriage laws, only persons of opposing sexes are allowed to get married. In other words, only a man can marry a woman under current law. The plebiscite will ask Australians whether they want to change that definition of marriage.
The case Hollis v Vabu Pty Ltd[1] confirms the long held doctrine that employers are vicariously liable for the negligence of their employees during the course of their employment. In comparison to cases such as Humberstone v Northern Timber Mills[2] and Stevens v Brodribb Sawmilling Co Pty Ltd[3], which appear to contribute to the development of the application of common law to evolving social conditions, the Hollis v Vabu Pty Ltd case may be considered as taking a step back in affirming the traditional notion of ‘control’ when determining the nature of employment relationships. The following will critically analyse the ratio and the legal and commercial implications prevalent in this case.
The conditions of Australia’s immigration detention policies have also been cause for concern for probable contraventions of Articles 7 and 10 of the ICCPR. Whilst in Sweden, asylum seekers are afforded free housing whilst their applications are being processed, Australia’s methods are much more callous. Under the Pacific Solution, maritime asylum seekers are sent to impoverished tropical islands with no monitoring by human rights organisations allowed (Hyndman and Mountz, 2008). The UNHCR criticised Australia’s offshore processing centres stating that “significant overcrowding, cramped living quarters, unhygienic conditions, little privacy and harsh tropical climate contribute to the poor conditions of… Nauru and Papua New Guinea” (Morales
Although there is a lovely beauty in Houston Texas and Bangs Texas, there are also distinctions which allow each place to stand on its own. I have opinions of the places I have lived. Each place has its differences, and I am not sure if there is any place that really fits me well. These two places are day and night to each other, yet, they are only four hours away from one another. They are different in the variety of cultures, population, and pollution levels.
The definition of “resident” in S6(1)of ITAA 1936 provides that a company is a resident of Australia where it is incorporated in Australia or, not being incorporated in Australia, where it carries on business in Australia and has either its central management and control in Australia or its voting power controlled by shareholders who are residents of Australia.
Canada, New Zealand, and Italy are just some of the various countries that countless members of the Australian parliament hold a dual citizenship in. Scott Ludlam, Larissa Waters, Malcolm Roberts, and many more, have been caught up in the scandal surrounding dual citizenship. Yesterday, Nationals leader and Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce, was added to the ever-growing list which also includes Matt Canavan and John Alexander. Section 44(i) of the Australian Constitution says anyone with citizenship belonging to a foreign power is incapable of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives. Despite being clearly stated, many senators are admitting to holding dual citizenship and being in breach of Section 44(i).
In the case, R. v. Hibbert , the appellant is Lawrence Hibbert and the respondent is Her Majesty, the Queen. Although there are multiple legal issues outlined in this case, the legal issue that is of concern is focused on the mens rea of party liability under s. 21 , and the meaning behind the phrase “for the purpose of aiding”. This case is significant due to the fact it highlights the interpretations of particular terms, which ultimately lead to a new trial.
The unfair prejudice petition has always been regarded as the easier and more flexible option for minority shareholders’ protection compared to the statutory derivative action. The restrictive leave requirements under the statutory derivative claim where the concept of prima facie, good faith and ratification have been interpreted within the confines of the origins in the case of Foss v Harbottle do not add any appeal the statutory derivative claim. Further, the approach in relation to granting indemnity costs orders which is rather limited does not in any way encourage any potential claimant to pursue a derivative action. Recent cases which allows corporate relief to be obtained via unfair prejudice petition and even the possibility if recovering costs under and unfair prejudice petition has further relegated the significance of the derivative action.
