Chapter 2

‘Principal purpose’

[ch 2: page 22]

The activities must be the group’s “principal purpose” but they need not be their only task.

There will be no SPC if the activities are not the main task of the organised grouping, even if they are the only task of a few individuals in the group (CEVA v Seawell Limited [2013] CSIH 59).
