Lloyd v Revenue and Customs (PROCEDURE - HMRC application to extend time for filing statement of case) [2025] UKFTT 563 (TC) (22 May 2025)

Lloyd v Revenue and Customs (PROCEDURE - HMRC application to extend time for filing statement of case) [2025] UKFTT 563 (TC) (22 May 2025)

The application for extension was made before the deadline, so it is not a relief from sanctions case. The delay was short, justified by the late provision of evidence and need for internal review. Granting the extension causes no prejudice to the appellant and is necessary for fair and just resolution of the appeal.
