The article addresses limitation for passing reassessment orders, holding that a judicial remand prescribing procedural timelines (supply of reasons, opportunity to file and dispose objections, and a brief bar before assessment) does not qualify as a "finding" or "direction" that triggers the extended limitation available where reassessment is made "in consequence of or to give effect to" a court finding or direction. Consequently, extended limitation is not attracted and ordinary limitation rules apply; after computing excluded periods from earlier writ proceedings and the additional statutory extension, the last date to pass reassessment had expired, rendering reassessment time barred and the writ allowed.
