Vandervell v IRC
Corrected various mis-statements of the points being litigated. The question at issue was whether Vandervell was liable to surtax on the dividends on the 100,000 A shares that he had gifted to the Royal College of Surgeons. There was not (as previously described here) any question of him being taxed on the transfer of the shares, or on his ownership (via resulting trust) of the option to repurchase them. The Inland Revenue never sought tax on these heads, and the courts did not consider them.current

Replaced "contemporaneous" with "historically recorded". The context made it clear that "contemporaneous" was not an appropriate adjective for events occurring at widely separate times. The intended contrast is with prehistoric events described following.

Roland Gwynne
Disambiguation of sentence to exclude readings that Elizabeth David was (a) the only daughter of either Rupert or Roland, and (b) that she was a daughter of Roland. Rupert had four daughters and Elizabeth was one of them (not a daughter of Roland).

Piano Sonata No. 1 (Beethoven)
Deleted statement that a typical performance of the work lasts 17 to 20 minutes. This is unverifiable and also not a feature that should be in an encylopaedia article. (If it were a monstrous work lasting several hours, that might be interesting, but generally these naive statements about performace duration should be removed from all similar articles). ).
