    Easement Case Didn't Need Appraiser Witness, 10th Circ. Told

    The U.S. Tax Court should have considered a partnership's appraisal before rejecting its claim to a nearly $12 million tax deduction for a conservation easement donation, the partnership told the Tenth Circuit, arguing that its valuation report didn't require the appraiser's testimony as the court had claimed.
