Jas J. Ivers, Esq.,
Director of the Incorporated Law Society.
Re : Meeting in the General Valuation Office
on the 8 / 1 / 7 4.
Subject Matter : Arrears of Estate Duty Cases
in the office.
Present : Mr. J. J. Ivers (Director of the I.L.S.)
and Messrs. McNicholl, Duffin and Kelly
(Commissioner, Secretary and Staff Valuer
respectively).
Dear Mr. Ivers,
It emerged in our discussion with you regarding
delays in processing Estate Duty cases that one of the
serious bottlenecks in the General Valuation Office
arises from difficulties in co-relating the particulars re-
turned in the Form D.I. with those in the Valuation
Lists. It was mutually agreed that the scope of these
difficulties would be very much reduced by the adop-
tion of the following suggestions for the f u t u re :
1. Particulars on Form D.I. to be in type-script.
2. Complete all columns on the Form D.I. with rele-
vant information.
3. Th at the following documents should be attached
to the form D.I. (a) copy of Rate Dema nd Notes
(preferably applicable at date of death) for each
item or Certificate of Valuation from the Local
Authority, (b) Copy of Auctioneer's or Valuer's
Certificate.
T h e Commissioner for his part undertook to take all
steps in his power to reduce the backlog of cases. At
present there are some old files in the office which are
held up because no replies were received from Solicitors
when Demand Notes were requested. May I think you
for your courtesy and understanding of the difficulties
associated with the problem and I trust that through
mutual co-operation an appreciable improvement will
be effected.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Kelly
Lipstein: Law of the European Economic
Community
1974. By K. Lipstein, Ph.D., Barrister, Professor of Com-
parative Law and Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge.
Assuming a basic knowledge of the Constitution and
organisation of the three European Communities, Lip-
stein presents a narrative statement of the substantive
law of the EEC as embodied in the Treaty of Rome. The
work demonstrates how in many instances the articles
of the Treaty provide only a general legislative frame-
work supplemented by subsequent regulations, direc-
tives, decisions and other measures of the Community
organs, and how the entire body of rules has been
shaped and interpreted by the Community Court.

Sumption on Taxation of Overseas Income
and Gains
By Anthony Sumption, Barrister, formerly a Solicitor
This work deals with the foreign element in United
Kingdom taxation as a separate subject within Revenue
Law. It has been written in response to the great
increase in the volume of overseas business and the
consequent growth of tax havens, offshore funds and
other international devices. The author explains various
methods of minimising taxation appropriate to indiv-
iduals, partnerships and companies, steering his readers
away from the many pitfalls which litter the path of the
tax planner in this particular field.
