5. Expert Comments

AKHB editorial analysis, distinct from the Court’s findings.

The appeal already existed

Counsel reported that it had been filed. This is liberty to press that appeal on the writ grounds, not a new period to institute an appeal.

All grounds remain arguments, not accepted propositions

Preserving the ability to urge grounds does not decide them for the taxpayer. The appellate forum must consider them in its own proceedings.

The order adds no recovery or limitation relief

No stay, condonation or decision deadline appears. The procedural liberty should not be enlarged into protection against collection or automatic admission.
