[Emigre]

This chap does look very good on paper.... treasury and EU law, so that should help lots....

shame he is not a tax expert also! I might even consider pre-ordering some champers

Is bolly tax deductible when we win then?

[Emigre]

Is this the same QC / Judge that PWC was in front of ?

No. They had LJ Stanley Brunton who is actually in Court 3 tomorrow. I thought he was very sharp. Also part of his judgement was deferred pending the decision on our case.

Kenneth Parker appears to have represented Customs and Excise on a few occasions which doesn't give me the best vibes

He's been made up to be an Appeal Court judge with effect from October this year. He's not going to want to get anything wrong or contentious just now. Lets hope its easier to let it go to a hearing than reject it!

Thats is very disappointing, I was rather hoping LJ Burton was going to hear this, main reason being he initially agreed on the fact SA 58 seemed incompatible.

new terroritory tomorrow.....

So do we conclude we will not get a result tomorrow, given LJ Burton deferred his judgement and I assume hw would need/ like to debate with KC; legal eagles out there?

Kenneth Parker is Court 63 - I take it we are The Queen on the application of Hankinson v HM Revenue & Customs???

Our hearing appears to be 3rd in Court 2 before Kenneth Parker QC.

Can't answer that one. My understanding is that the pre-hearing skeleton arguments provide references to all the legal authorities that either side wants to draw on so that the judge can read them up in advance. Also, I understood that the principle of the Court was to get a judgement out on the day, provided of course that each side has managed to make all the arguments and responses they wish. We could have a "part hearing" where it carries over to another day, or even be deferred if some of the cases ahead of us overrun.
