    The only Irish court reporter consistently worth reading had a report yesterday.

    On a Galway note, this pivot into the sugared sandwich market was what a strange end to Bookfinders Limited (now in receivership) which was better known for many years as the ABC Bookshop.

    ...for the purposes of calculating VAT. Any other usage of bread isn't affected (unless it depends on the VAT legislation definitions)

    Not necessarily referring to explicit usage of bread in the text of the law. For example, I very much doubt that this ruling has any effect on whether Subway can use the word bread in their advertising

    Because it was reported extensively yesterday, and you're seeing the foreign sites catch it a day later.

    Isn't there an important case on Passing Off about bread? Probably not what you were looking for...

    Did you actually read the linked articles?

    There is a maximum allowed % to qualify for VAT exemption.

    What an absolute waste of the Supreme Court's time. Hope his legal bill was astronomical.
