Spoke with MP today. The delay in filing an application for JR is down to needing to find a suitable scheme participant that believes their human rights have been infringed. This they have done.
They have instructed their legal team, I was given the names of their Counsel (one tax Counsel and one HR Counsel). MP now act on the advice of their legal team in terms of what they should do and when.
Expectation appears to be that the JR will take place in December.

are you paying attention, time to get you're case together chaps, i sincerely hope you're asking youselves questions like 'how the hell do we explain ourselves and not come out of this smelling of sh*t'

Number of issues here. Firstly, the original 4 that were going to trial were selected by HMRC. The individual that goes to the JR can be selected by MP/the scheme member. It makes sense to pick the right individual
You say there are 2000 or so of them. Tell me, would you be prepared to be that person, if you had a choice? I suggest its a case of wanting to be that person. I for one take my hat off to them.

There may have been a lot to chosse from but; finding one willing to stand up in court, have their business dealing and financial affairs placed under scrutiny and likely find themselves reported about in the press was never going to be straightforward.
Leaving aside the issues of right and wrong, I applaud that individuals self belief and wish them luck. I think they are going to need it.

I think the first 4 they picked were only actually going to the tax commissioner stage (first stage in the revenue inquiry process) rather than to court... and the last 3 tax commissoners kept puting it in the too hard basket... hence never actually got to the first stage.....
Then they just got the law changed.....since it wasnt going anywhere.....

Apologies, I didnt mean to disrespect the volunteer. I too am extremely grateful, especially if he/she's one of the 'four', they've probably already been thru the mill for a the last few years,
