*Case: A.G. v. John Holt & Co. Ltd (1910) 2 NLR 21* This case set a key legal rule: *No taxation without legislation.* The court held that the colonial govt couldn't impose duties without a proper law backing it. *Why it matters:* - Protects us from illegal taxes - Reinforces the rule of law - Shows early limits on govt power A timeless reminder that even the government must follow the law. #legalgist #taxlaw #ruleoflaw #topjlaw
