Holding

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Warren Jones Co. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 524 F.2d 788 reversed a U.S. Tax Court decision that held that “the fair market value of a real estate contract did not constitute an amount realized by the taxpayer in the taxable year of sale under Internal Revenue Code § 1001(b).” The Court of Appeals held “that the real estate had a certain fair market value that was ascertainable and that the taxpayer had to include that fair market value to determine the amount realized under § 1001(b)."

Famous quotes containing the word holding:

    “It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was trembling, because I’d got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: “All right, then, I’ll go to hell”—and tore it up.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
    Love can transpose to form and dignity.
    Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
    And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It’s frightening how easy it is to commit murder in America. Just a drink too much. I can see myself doing it. In England, one feels all the social restraints holding one back. But here, anything can happen.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
