Additional cases have been added to the list of taxpayers suing the IRS in US Tax Court for denying their tax credit benefits. There are now over 140 entries in that list:
Six pages for your reading enjoyment. It sets the guidelines for the DOJ's "expert witness(es)" as well as other interested people with a need to obtain information about IAS, RaPower3, Neldon Johnson (and other "Designated Parties"). The lead paragraph in that document is:
**** This case is one of numerous Tax Court cases (the "energy property cases") that have been assigned to this Division of the Court for trial or other disposition. These cases involve a solar-power facility in Delta, Utah, about which certain third parties possess confidential trade secret and other proprietary information. These third parties are Neldon Johnson International Automated Systems Inc.; Rapower-3 LLC; LTB LLC; and LTB1 LLC (collectively, "third parties"). Respondent wishes to have one or more expert witnesses visit the solar-power facility and interview professionals employed by the third parties. The third parties have indicated that they will decline to discuss confidential trade secret and other proprietary information with these expert(s) in the absence of a protective order. ****
Another interesting US Tax Court case is #14027860 The last entry in that docket is: "GRANTED MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL by Counsel Paul W. Jones". Paul W. Jones is identified in the Petitioner's Counsel column as "JP0098". He is the "COUNSEL" for over 100 of the other taxpayers in the list. Will others be dropping Jones as their COUNSEL? Unknown. The reason for his withdrawal is not specified. Perhaps he and the taxpayer had a conflict of interest which would disqualify Jones from being petitioner's counsel? Or, perhaps it was simply a difference of opinion regarding the case? Or, maybe the petitioner has decided to voluntarily settle with the IRS without Jones' involvement? Unknown.
