How Judge Haney decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Haney required a taxpayer claiming a deduction to identify clear statutory authorization.
“Whether and to what extent deductions shall be allowed depends upon legislative grace; and only as there is clear provision therefor can any particular deduction be allowed”
Haney separated state substantive requirements from the procedural forms incorporated into federal condemnation practice.
“The Montana statute does not relate to “forms and methods of procedure”, but is a rule of substantive law requiring a particular finding of fact before condemnation is permitted.”
Haney assessed waiver of counsel from the full factual context rather than from a single statement.
“The determination of whether there has been an intelligent waiver of right to counsel must depend, in each case, upon the particular facts and circumstances surrounding that case”
