Turner v. The Queen

The Court held that the bailiff's reports to the Minister and the bailiff's return of the writs to the Minister satisfied the statutory requirement that "execution for that amount has been returned unsatisfied" under subsections 227.1(2)(a) and 323(2)(a); there is no requirement of particular words or an endorsement on the writ returned to the Federal Court registry where the Federal Court Rules' notice-triggered endorsement procedure was not invoked, and accordingly the director was properly assessed and the appeals were dismissed.

  • Certification and registration of tax debts
