Fain Land & Cattle Co. v. Hassellgreen
ariz · 1990 · cited in 2 Arizona opinions naming this issue, 2008–2008
2 sentences

2008Nonetheless, they maintain that a retroactivity analysis of Lassen II is not necessary or appropriate because the express language of the Act itself mandates the remedy — “conveyances not made in substantial conformity with the provisions of the Act ... shall be null and void.” In essence, plaintiffs argue that the Act thereby specifies how past conveyances, found later to violate the Act, must be treated and this court is bound by its express language. ¶ 68 To support this argument, the plaintiffs rely on Fain Land & Cattle Co. v. Hassell, 163 Ariz. 587, 596 , 790 P.2d 242, 251 (1990).

1990In one case, this court found that a taxing practice constituted a "willful, systematic and intentional violation of the law"; however, because the court also found that the remedy of refunding appellant's and similar claims "threatens the financial solvency of many taxing units of the state, particularly those in rural and undeveloped areas," the court concluded it could make its decision prospective in application "where great hardship will result if caused from long continued failure to exert a legal right." Southern Pacific Co. v. Cochise County, 92 Ariz. 395, 406 , 377 P.2d 770, 778 (1963
