JJ Manangement Llp and Others, Regina (on The Application of) v Revenue and Customs and Another: Admn 25 Jul 2019

Challenge to the lawfulness of an investigation by HMRC of tax affairs relating to the claimant’s businesses in Europe. HMRC had been claiming a right to conduct an informal investigation using the 2005 Act. The taxpayer sought judicial review of their actions.
Held: The request for review was refused. The statute gave to the revenue functions including both to open an enquiry into a return under the 1970 Act during the enquiry window, and to check returns without opening a section 9A enquiry, even after the enquiry window had closed, to see if there was cause to make a discovery assessment. Such checks might include not only rereading the file but also undertaking investigations and enquiries to obtain more information to satisfy their interests.
HMRC’s functions include the collection of taxes, and collecting the correct amount of tax from taxpayers. Investigating whether a taxpayer has declared all his income and paid the correct amount of tax is necessary, expedient, incidental or conducive to the exercise of that function and is authorised by the powers in section 9 CRCA 2005. The use of such an ‘informal investigation’ was not inconsistent with the statutory scheme, but was consistent with it. The statutory scheme includes not only opening an enquiry into a return under section 9A TMA 1970 during the enquiry window, but also checking returns without opening a section 9A enquiry, including after the enquiry window has closed, with a view to ascertaining if there is ground to issue a discovery assessment, and that such checking can include not just rereading the file but carrying out investigations and enquiries to see if any further information can be obtained that sheds light on the question. Given that statutory scheme, there is nothing inconsistent in HMRC having power to ask a taxpayer for information and documents on a voluntary basis. It would be the very antithesis of good administration for an arm of the state to use compulsory powers as a first step in obtaining information from an individual, rather than resort to them only when all attempts to obtain the information voluntarily had run into the sand. As a matter of common sense, cooperation and collaboration facilitates the collection of the public revenue.
Judicial review in relation to a decision to investigate will only be justified in a wholly exceptional case, and the circumstances of this case did not meet that threshold, concluding, ‘there is nothing sufficiently egregious about the present case which would justify taking the wholly exceptional course of reviewing that decision’.

Asda Stores Ltd v Raymond: EAT 13 Dec 2018

The Claimant was dismissed for urinating in a loading yard, the Respondent employer alleging that this was a breach of (unspecified) Health and Safety Regulations and serious and wilful neglect of company property. The Tribunal found that the dismissal was unfair and that the dismissal arose from the Claimant’s disability. A subsequent Judgment in relation to Remedy ordered re-instatement. The Respondent appealed both Decisions.
Held:
(1) The Tribunal was entitled to conclude that the evidence, including the CCTV evidence, did not establish that the Claimant had urinated on the pallets and so the arguments on perversity and substitution mindset failed.
(2) The Respondent’s fall-back position of objective justification for section 15 discrimination had been addressed adequately by the Tribunal in the Remedy Judgment, the matter having been initially overlooked. The decision on this was not perverse.
(3) The Tribunal had not erred in its approach to re-instatement. It had considered the particular circumstances of the Claimant and found that the operative cause of the dismissal was his disability but that he considered trust and confidence could be restored. The Respondent’s contention that trust and confidence had broken down was not rationally based.
Appeal dismissed.

Scott and Others v Magistrates of Glasgow: HL 27 Jul 1899

The Glasgow Magistrates, as the local authority under the Diseases of Animals Acts 1894 and 1896, established at Glasgow a wharf and public market for the reception and sale of foreign cattle. They are empowered by the terms of section 42 of the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act 1847 (incorporated with the Act of 1894) to make bye-laws ‘for regulating the use of the market-place and fair, and the buildings, stalls, pens, and standings therein, and for preventing nuisances or obstructions therein, or in the immediate approaches thereto.’ They are also empowered, from time to time as they think fit, to repeal or alter any such byelaws, ‘provided always that such bye-laws shall not be repugnant to the laws of that part of the United Kingdom where the same are to have effect, or to the provisions of this or the special Act.’
Under these powers the Magistrates issued a bye-law providing that ‘the sale rings shall be used only for public sales of cattle by auction on conditions of sale which shall be equally applicable to all bidders and buyers. The sale rings shall not be used for private sales, or for sales to any limited number of persons, or for sales in which any class of the public are excluded from bidding and buying.’
Objection was taken to this bye-law by certain traders, who desired to limit their auction sales to a certain class of customers, and who maintained that the bye-law was ultra vires, and directed against a particular line of trade policy.
Held ( aff. judgment of the First Division- diss. Lord Shand) that the bye-law was valid.

Dennis’s Trustees v Dennis and Others: HL 19 May 1924

A testator, who was survived by his wife, left as part of his estate certain stocks and shares, some of which stood in the joint names of himself and his wife, and others in the joint names of himself and his wife and the survivor. All these investments had been made out of the testator’s own means, and the titles thereto were found in his repositories after his death, there having been no gift or delivery of them to his wife during his lifetime. The testamentary writings, which consisted of a trust-disposition and several codicils, did not contain any express revocation of prior special destinations. The last codicil, however, which was subsequent in date to the investments to which this appeal related, was practically a new settlement, and contained a general conveyance of the testator’s whole estate, and a clause which gave to his niece an option to purchase after the death of his wife any shares held by him at the time of his death, or held by his wife at the time of her death, at a valuation not greater than the cost price, and specified as shares which she might so acquire, certain shares among which were included some of the shares standing in the names of himself and his wife, and of himself and his wife and the survivor. The enumeration was followed by the words ‘or others if preferable.’
Held (aff. the judgment of the First Division) that, as the right of purchase conferred on the niece by the last codicil was irreconcilable with the special destinations in the share certificates, the destinations contained therein were revoked by the general conveyance.

Subsequently a subordinate Government official intimated that he wanted the articles for the Government, but his action was repudiated on application to his superior officer. This incident was not disclosed to the prospective bidder, who attended the sale, when the articles were knocked down to him. After the sale the Government intervened to prevent removal, and shortly after impressed. Held ( rev. judgment of the Second Division) that the purchaser was not entitled to rescind the contract on the ground of essential error induced by the seller, and was liable for the price, the property in the articles having passed to him on the fall of the hammer.
