Law v. Law Trucking Co.

Supreme Court of Rhode Island (1985) | 488 A.2d 1225; 1985 R.I. LEXIS 463

5 min read

TL;DR: A company in receivership was held liable for taxes based on its prior representations of vehicle situs, and employees' claims for back wages were denied because their wage concessions were deemed loans, not wages.

Legal Significance: Establishes that a taxpayer can be estopped from denying a previously represented tax situs if statutory remedies for erroneous assessment are not pursued, and that agreements characterizing wage concessions as loans can defeat priority wage claims.
