Glad to see we have the same judge that granted the JR. He's aware of the case history etc.
Good luck to all. I can not attend but will be glued to this forum !

Start time
I have spoken to our legal team and the Court has advised that the first hearing (Nursing And Midwifery Council v Akinleye) is scheduled to only last 15 minutes.Originally posted by Emigre View PostLooks like the first on the list is for some kind of direction ie they will be over and done with in a few minutes - we had one of those at the last Hearing.
Therefore, we should be on at 10:30Comment

I seem to recall he had very little hesitation in granting the JR as well. He knows there is a very serious issue at that heart of this that needs a judgement. Bearing in mind that he is judging the legality of the retrospection as opposed to the scheme (not that the scheme was in anyway illegal, just that the waters are not muddied), I think this is very good news. We don't have a HMRC stooge.Originally posted by Lazylobster View PostGlad to see we have the same judge that granted the JR. He's aware of the case history etc.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this. At long last we get our say, and no longer have to take the lies and smears spread by the likes of lurch. I hope that HMRC and the Government are humiliated. And I hope when the dust settles, that some of them will be taken to task on how they have abused their position and their power.Comment

Does anyone know if the court officials will be taking official notes of the proceedings so that we afterwards we can review in detail what each side has said.
If not can we take tape recordings of the proceedings on our mobiles etc.Comment

Don't know the answer to the 1st point. As for the second, I don't think you allowed to use recording devices in the court room.Originally posted by seadog View PostDoes anyone know if the court officials will be taking official notes of the proceedings so that we afterwards we can review in detail what each side has said.

There is a Court stenographer present but I'm not sure how long it is before the transcripts are available - may be several weeks, don't know.Join the No To Retro Tax Campaign Now

I've stumbled upon this thread only today! Well done to all of you and especially DR.
Working in Southbank so should be able to attend at least for a couple of hours each day. In fact I turned up there an hour ago and found Court 2 locked up. Someone explained to me that I've got my dates mixed up. Doh.Comment
