The Full Federal Court will be hearing the Commissioner’s appeal in the Multiflex case at 9.30am today in Court 22A of the Federal Court in Melbourne. On the bench is Justices Stone, Edmonds and Logan.
Each of these judges has had considerable experience with GST. Stone and Edmonds JJ sat on the Full Court appeals in Reliance Carpet and Qantas. Logan J sat on PM Developments.
Given the expedited manner in which the hearing was scheduled (less than a month from the date of judgment at first instance), I would expect the Court to pronounce judgment quickly.
