Dear Colleagues,

Swiftly following the FII decision last month, the English Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal in FJ Chalke Ltd & Anor v Revenue & Customs [2010] EWCA Civ 313 (25 March 2010) http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2010/313.html, the first instance judgment in which was previously circulated on this list. The Court of Appeal agreed with the judge's conclusion that the claims were time-barred, but for that reason Etherton LJ did not go on to consider some of the potentially trickier issues, particularly on change of position (see [73]-[74]).

Best wishes,

James
