There are those that cannot afford to / cannot swallow the unfair settlement routes currently on offer and they will fight this as a group.
I should add that I have not yet seen what the big group option 1 settlement route amounts to (I will join so that I can weigh the fairness of it). Whatever decision I come to, I want to have my eyes open to all options available. I'm inclined to fight even if it's from a beach abroad.
I don't share the view that action is too late... The new outstanding loans charge has not become law yet. Surely Any legal challenge/judicial review must come after this.
The new laws represent an unprecedented move from HMRC. A breach of Constitutional rights, Civil liberties etc that take us deep into uncharted territory. I fully expect a political and legal challenge.
But I don't think anyone can predict the shape or size of this challenge let alone the outcome at this moment.
