AH1555 - General Commissioners: Appeals to the High Court


Failure to meet time limit: stated case

A failure by the Clerk to prepare a draft case within the specified time limit, or a failure by a party to meet the time limits for making representations or to send copies of those representations to the other party, will not affect the validity of the case when it is finally stated or any subsequent proceedings in relation to the case.

If you become aware that amendments to the draft case have been suggested to the Clerk by the taxpayer or on his behalf and HMRC have not been sent copies of these make an application to the Clerk for a copy of them. (Regulation 21(5) of The General Commissioners (Jurisdiction and Procedure) Regulations SI1994/1812).
