Refund of service tax collected from incorporated members' clubs for periods after the levy was held ultra vires could not be rejected merely as time-barred. The text states that the levy on incorporated clubs had already been declared ultra vires and affirmed by the Supreme Court, so the tax was collected without authority of law.
