- The court ruled that, under the applicable law at the time, a valid notification of the assessment could not have taken place.
- As the assessment cannot be notified within the prescribed period, the court annuls the assessment.
- The court considers whether the assessment was validly notified to the partnership.
- The court refers to a Supreme Court ruling stating that an assessment can still be imposed on a dissolved partnership, but notification is not possible under the applicable law.
- The court concludes that the assessment could only have been validly notified if the partnership had not ceased to exist at that time.
