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...

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.

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!

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 was rejected. So nothing has been decided but the Judge doesn't like the bloke....

There was a thread about this recently which linked to a newspaper article that claimed he'd sent her texts declaring his undying love.

Also emails, quoted in the judgment linked to.

I wonder if she wins HMRC will pursue her for a slice of tax?

Its clear her client regards her as getting the goods for services rendered?

Well she was definitely providing personal services

We are missing the obligatory Daily Mail link so I've added it.

That was the one.

‘It is the Natasha colour of my soul. I guess it must always have been there, but it took you coming into my life to awaken it.
‘Since then, my life has not been the same. It can never be the same.
‘The specialness of who you are has opened my heart as I never knew it could be. That is an amazing, beautiful thing…’
