Selected cases
Mr Boulton appeared in Chief Commissioner of State Revenue v Geoffrey Harry Coleman and Another  [2007] NSWSC 625 (21 June 2007), a case concerning land tax exemptions, specifically the definition of a principal place of residence. He also appeared in Morrison v Lainson (2006) NSWSC 1347, a case which concerned trustees for sale where the burden of remuneration falls as between beneficiaries.

Mr Boulton's experience with family provision cases was demonstrated recently in Harrison v Melhem (2006) NSW SC 1293, where damages for domestic care were provided gratuitously.

In Ide v Ide (2004) NSWSC 751, there was a question about the remuneration for receivers for assisting police regarding crimes witnessed in performance of the receivers' duties.

Wills and probate is also a principal area of practice of Mr Boulton. In Hatzantonis v Lawrence [2003] NSW SC, the issue was whether the beneficiary is entitled to let out property when it is a gift of "right of usage" of the house.
