Fun with Law!!

This is a funny article however, i like the judgement

Under UK law most food carries no VAT. However, coated biscuits and "potato crisps, potato sticks, potato puffs and similar products made from the potato, or from potato flour, or from potato starch", are subject to a tax of 15 per cent.......

.....The company argued that Pringles were not potatoey enough to be taxed.

"There is more than enough potato content for it to be a reasonable view that it is made from potato," he said.

I wonder how many packs did the judge have to eat to confirm that it was "Potatoey" enough to be brought under the VAT ruling which applies to the potato based products in UK.

One more cool verdict is here

The judgment is rare in many ways, as it confirms that electromagnetic waves emitted during power transmission could be injurious to health. Neither the court nor the state questioned the district magistrate's finding that the emission from power lines can affect hens' egg-laying capacity.

I hope only the hens are the ones who are effected ;-)
