Question juridique clé
Whether the recourse claim for withholding tax against A.C.'s estate was time-barred.
Solution extraite
The recourse claim was not time-barred because the limitation period had been interrupted in a manner effective against A.C. through B.C.'s representation.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that there is no absolute limitation period for the recourse claim. B.C. acted in A.C.'s name in the share-sale negotiations and had at least passive authority to receive declarations concerning the transaction, including interruption notices. The tax authority's letters therefore interrupted limitation vis-à-vis A.C.
