Re:	Mistake and Voluntary Transfers

Dear All,

Members may be interested to note the following recent (and short) case, decided by Lewison J on mistake and voluntary transfers. The transferor under a supposedly tax efficient scheme "mistakenly believed, at the times of the transfers, that there was a real chance that he would survive for seven years whereas in fact at that time his state of health was such that he had no real chance of surviving for that long". The transfer was set aside.

Best wishes,
James Lee
