      Which paper?
      I do not believe this. Arctic only gave their evidence yesterday so I od not see how a decision could have been made already. Besides neither this site, shout99 or the PCG has reported a result yet.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      The original point and click interface by
      Smith and Wesson.

      Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

        Most up-to-date article I can find on Google.

        a) No verdict likely for 6-13 weeks.

        b) Journalist concludes, "we are quietly confident that it will fall in favour of the taxpayer."

          I will see if it is still in the bar later....

            Word is the result will be announced in between 6 and 13 weeks (there's a summer recess in that time frame) but it will be on a Thursday. Reading the reports from people in the room, it looks good for Arctic but of course nothing is certain; we are talking technical interpretation of the law here, not logic! However nobody thought they saw any indication that the basis of the HMRC's appeal would reverse the previous unanimous verdict.

            Incidentally the "journalist" quoted was Nicola Ross-Martin, resident tax expert at Accountingweb and a long time supporter of Arctic. I tend to trust her judgement
            Blog? What blog...?

              Yeah, "journalist" was obviously the wrong word now you mention it. I could hardly understand a word she was saying.

                Perhaps Gordon has had a word and it's a done deal...
