Not possible.

He looks like a Hollywood Milliband.

I think the summary judgement was that the house, and car, was gifted to her, so HMRC can't touch it, if he lives for another 6 years.

Summary judgement != final judgement. He can continue to a full trial but based on the Judge's comments in the summary judgement he would be mad to continue the case...

No, I get that, but I think evidence provided stated they were gifts, so in HMRC's case, he has to live for 6 years. So, his pretrial says he stuffed, and a main one probably would too, as you said!

Either way, good work darling!

And a cracking bit of understatement by the judge from earlier in the document gives an idea of what his decision will be:

...but I am not prepared to conclude on the present state of the evidence that Miss Eustace's evidence should be rejected and that Mr Baxendale-Walker's should be accepted on all points on which they are in dispute. On the contrary, it seems to me on the basis of the material provided so far that there is likely to be fertile ground for cross-examination on both sides, and that the case may well look rather different at the end of a trial from the way in which it appears today.
