Description
This appeal concerns a judgment from the District Court of the Eighth Judicial District, Cascade County, declaring classification of livestock in property tax valuation unconstitutional in violation of equal protection guarantees in the United States and Montana Constitutions. The Department of Revenue (DOR) appeals this decision, and also appeals the District Courts interpretations of applicable statutes, its decision to take judicial notice of facts denied by the DOR in answer to requests for admissions from Respondent, the Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSA), and the remedy provided the MSA for the DORs alleged improper assessment of taxes. We reverse the District Courts decision on the initial issues, and thus render the issue of the appropriate remedy moot - Page 115
