As with any civil legal dispute (with or without HMRC), it's up to the would-be litigants whether to settle out of court or take their chances.<br /><br />Stew GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-38330439918132011972012-12-20T21:08:37.396+00:002012-12-20T21:08:37.396+00:00Doohh!
