D. Cioffi, assistant heads of state attorney - called the appellant;
Y. Frivs, M. Wolfson - named respondent.
Stopped - Dean
Justice A. Barak: N. .1 Created on 31.5.78 contract between the company Hayarkon Ltd. (hereinafter - the familiar) and Henry Lndsft (hereinafter - the buyer), is the respondent before us. Subject contract is the purchase of land. Section 16 (1) the contract provides that agreed between the parties, that the buyer "may conduct" (may execute) the agreement: in
On his own behalf or on behalf of certain Principals' and for a company limited by shares to be Incorporated
". in israel or abroad
Continuation of the same provision states that if the contract is executed not for the buyer himself, the buyer undertakes to notify seller in writing within ninety days the name of the senders and / or company, and that approval (Ratification) the contract. Also said that with approval approvers will see the original buyers, while they have signed contracts to buy. Finally determined that
Despite these provisions the buyer undertakes to be responsible for any duties and obligations of the purchaser - contract.
.2 On 30.7.78 he founded a company called buyer. Tolham beach hotels ltd, which later changed its name to -. Sea and sun beach hotels ltd (hereinafter ¬ company). Adopted on 11.8.78 (confirmed) the Company approved (Ratified) the contract between the seller and buyer, as determined by the decision - by the contract language itself - that it will see her original buyer. Notification of this decision was given on 15.8.78 seller.
.3 Buyer and seller statements filed land betterment tax administrator (hereinafter ¬ director), is the appellant before us. Director stated two additional assessments of tax. First, regarding the transaction between seller and buyer; Second, interest transaction between the buyer and the company. The buyer filed objections to the first mole. He claims not purchased the rights personally but as a representative or authorized the Company, and approval should not be considered any more a deal between him and the familiar. He claimed that made only one deal is the deal between the familiar and the company. The manager rejected the perception, and found that Mr. Lndsft acquired the rights to personalize, and then transferred the rights to the company. "There is no double taxation for both sales tax is imposed on one of them". The decision was appealed and the buyer before the appeals committee betterment tax law real estate, Tsc"g - .1963 before the appeals committee added the manager claimed that the - the instruction of Article 69 land betterment tax law can be seen buying faithful society enjoys, and not fulfilled requirements of Article 74 of Law No. praise land transfer issue, anyway there is no exemption on - according to these instructions. Appeals Committee accepted the appeal. The decision stated that the buyer acted as an entrepreneur who founded the company. with the approval of the contract by the ¬ company, by virtue of the provisions of Section 6 (c) of the Law mission, Tsc "The 1965, was the buyer of the picture. Found that there is no basis for the manager's approach that were two sales. Added Appeals Committee ruled that the buyer did not act as trustee, and therefore no question arises Applicability of Article 69 land betterment tax law. The Appeals Committee's decision was filed appeal before us. Repeated his argument before us Mr. Cioffi, the name of the manager's position, while Mr. Frivs, buyer's name, repeated it's position.
.4 Appeal Committee's approach is based, as we have seen, the existence of a plea sold one, the one between the familiar and the company. For establishment of construction has to rely on the provisions of Section 6 (c) of the Law mission. Found that the center of controversy before us is the question of Applicability of Article 6 (c), which states as follows: and
"Corporation can confirm the action was for him before its founding, the provisions of this section.
He doubts a fence, if the buyer acted "for" corporation.
.5 Section 6 (c) is renewed, at Snthds demanded of the Israeli legislature. He holds a similar provision, included the companies bill, which was posted on - by the Justice Department back in - .1957 that deviates from the existing law, driving before him. On - the old law a corporation could not confirm an action, made for him before its establishment (planets [3] (1866) Kelner v. Baxter and others). On - the new arrangement to force the corporation to approve an action, made for him before its founding. The corporation does not have confirmation, and does not charge him as such. His authority to approve. When he did "the provisions of this section. Found that approval of the law - duly approved by the corporation - by posting, place to work without authorization (AE 777/75, 785 [1]). Full scope of this provision has not yet been cleared, and many are open questions (see: N AE 337/80 [2] as well: In J. Gross, "Note the margins of law mission, Tsc"h -1965" lawyer Ca (Tsc"h) 511). It seems that is desirable in principle that such provision will place themselves in corporate law - as it is in the south - Africa, Canada and several countries in the United - States Ovkontinnt ¬ while given a comprehensive solution to all intricate relationship, created - by Triangle Entrepreneur - a third party - a corporation not yet established. Series of law mission is fragmented, and there is no statutory solution to give a comprehensive and exhaustive range of difficult problems, which makes initiating institution (see: and J. Gross, "the problem of contracts Hmikdmiim" lawyer Ca (Tsc"h) 38 and pre-Incorporation ", l. Getz 381 (1967). Ubcl rev "some proposals: N. contracts). but as long as not carried out necessary reforms, we must operate within the existing law, which in itself is great progress compared to existing in England.
.6 Action "for" What is the corporation? It seems to me that the action is for the corporation, if it holds these two conditions: In the beginning, the appearance of the action aspect of the third party shows her that she became for a corporation ¬ favor, instead, organized for him and his like. This condition is not met, if the - according to the external appearance of the operation is done for the worker himself; Second, in taking the action, standing before him of running a corporation, for which the action is. This condition does not exist, if the action has not yet decided when working for whom he acts, he leaves himself the option to decide about the future.
.7 Point, behind both of these requirements is a triangle: and first, linguistically not to say that a person works for another, if it works in action for himself, or has not yet decided for whom he works; Second, this approach is consistent with laws of general approval, set forth in Section 6 of the law mission, which Article 6 (c) constitutes an integral part of them. Under the laws of general approval, no approval takes, whether to work for himself (AE 777/75, 785 [1] above, p. 397). Conditions for approval is to send follow "the power of other branches of the" meaning of this provision is that the third party created an appearance of a mission (see: N. J. Procaccia, "Article 6 of Law Mission (Part Two)" attorney to (felt "M - Tshm"a) 465,
P. 466). Similarly, the - the laws of general approval, no approval grabs, if during the transaction was not the eyes of the "Table" "sending" specific, whose name he acts. True identity of the "wet" should not be unknown third party, ready I also assume that - contrary to U.S. law following English law that the third party does not even need to know, if he does not want to know, data on - by which he could identify the "wet ". But the conditions is that the "board" itself, the subjective perspective of his work for "sending" unknown, existing or future stand (Compare: in paragraph 87 to - american law Institude Restatement of the (1958, ii. St. Paul, vol) law, agency halakhic & Keighley, Maxsted [4] (1901) co. V. Durant). In explaining this approach after the fact approval of the laws specify Powell: and
But a can not, for instance, enter into a contract with "t in the hope that he will subsequently find some person Who is prepared to take over his rights and liabilities
-tract he can transfer his rights and liabilities by an merely by Ratification. If he does enter into such a con But that is not, and can not be, a effective assignment of them to the person who is willing-to take them over, powell, the law of agency).. Ratification by the latter (125 (1960,. nd. Ed2) Indeed - and this is the third point underlies means - after the fact approval is a legal institution is defined, which basically is the idea of mission. It is not advisable to apply to situations where there is no mission at all (see: N. gh fridman, law of 76 (1983). 5 th ed, london) agency). When in operation is not running before the eyes of all the "send" potential, for which he works, there is between this situation and the institution of the mission or anything. use approval is fictitious idea and he did not come but to disguise the operation of the protest. of course, can be difficult, why should oppose approval, they place the "wet" and the third party willing to see it OK? answer to that is not only a desire to keep their fields worthy of legal institutions but also the need prevent abuse in these institutions, which may lead to serious consequences in different fields, such as the tax.
.8 Requirements of Article 6 (c) of the law talks about not exist before us. The buyer did not know the contract for the company but kept all options open, as he leaves himself the discretion to decide on the future, who Tiohs action - to himself or others. Described it well come - power arguments before the appeals committee, saying in
"Mr. Lndsft was an option of 90 days within 90 days ..... could say I stay or I bring a friend".
Found that when purchasing land acquisition was not known for a specific company is known, that for her, for her sake only, follow the buyer. Mr. Frivs he argued before us, that Mshaosra action on - by the company, already requested in advance, because the action was for the company. No hands to accept this argument, based on a logical mistake. As long as the buyer did not act when action for society, not apply to Article 6 (c) of the Law mission. Without apply the provisions of Article 6 (c) No law mission approval, the absence of approval does not have permission retroactively. Only if when you do this is certain for the future society, there apply the provisions of Article 6) (law mission, which in which only a certain company may approve the operation.
5129371 .9 I therefore concluded that the provision of Section 6 (c) the law does not apply to our case mission. That dropped legal constructions, which served as the company buys the entire transaction planning. So when observers of the deal that approval glasses, then there is no escaping the conclusion that the buyer purchased the property known, after a while decided to move his right to his company. Therefore, the appellant was right in his approach, that interest us here in two transactions, as required by each paying extra tax. In light of this conclusion, I no longer have to take a position on questions, arising from claims of loyalty.
The result is that we accept the appeal, dismiss the appeals committee's decision, engaging in the decision of the appellant. Respondent shall be spending the appellant, including fees Editor - Dean, for a total of 000, 30 shekels.
