Philips Exports Ltd. v. Customs and Excise Commissioners, [1990] BTC 5082 (Q.B.D.)

In considering a marketing agreement which provided that property in goods which were manufactured by the Philips group of companies for export should pass to the taxpayer (an affiliated company) either immediately before delivery to the overseas customer or immediately before title passed to the overseas customer, Roch J. disagreed with a finding of the tribunal that in order for there to be a "supply of goods" title must rest with the transferee for a measurable length of time.
