    I too am highly aware of bi-polar, a close relative has it and I have had to deal with them being sectioned until they agreed treatment. But I agree, when someone acts so selfishly and maliciously and puts our families and homes at risk, anger and resentment is bound to be shown.

    There could be at least two more appeals in the UK before transfer to the Hague court. So it could go on for years.

    i suspect best you can get is a declaration of incompatibilty with the ECHR. Then its up to the government to introduce new legisaltion and for parliament to pass it. If it wanted to. In the meantime, if it didn't pursue the case, the "debts" would be quietly forgotten.

    Alternatively the government may go all the way to the European Court itself of course, which would likely take another two or three years. And as i think you don't get your costs back from there even if you win(mey be wrong here) Montpelier may just quit.

    How is the verdict delivered?

    Does anyone know how the verdict is delivered and when we are likely to find out....?

    Its difficult to gauge a realistic reaction from the feeds from the court as its clear that emotions run high amongst all of us who are affected.

    It does sound positive however we all know how HMRC work and how they can use their "weight" to gain an unfair advantage.

    It seems Elvin did us proud and Singh was really clutching at straws. Lets hope that the judge sees it in the same light.

    I sense with appeals, whether us or HMRC, we will not get closure on this for some time and the cloud of homelessness and bankrupcy will continue to hang over our heads.

    Thanks to all, I'm looking forward to some posts form DR...

    Ok so supposing he rules in our favour, it goes to appeal and we win again. What is the end result ?
    Would that mean BN66 has to be re-written or does it just not apply to us ? Would that be the end of it or is there another further appeal ? Or what happens if we win this round then loose the appeal ? Someone enlighten me please

    Thanks to everyone on this thread which I've been following with interest as someone likely to suffer greatly if this goes against us. It's helped me a lot to actually realise that I'm not alone in this.

    And maybe, just maybe, there is hope my life won't be ruined after all.

    "and trying to attack us on the lines that the courts do not have the right to interfere with the will of parliament sounds like a bit of a risky fallback"

    Alas, it's one of the safest lines of arguments in English law ...

    The only arguable exception are those lines of law deriving from the ECJ - that falls under the EU Treatuy, not the ECHR.
