Programme for Workshop on Friday 20th November

The Old Kitchens, Queens’ College Cambridge

Topic: Tax Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act came into force on 1 April 2009; s. 24 contains rules about mediation. Meanwhile HMRC have been introducing a new strategy for the conduct of tax litigation. This is therefore an opportune moment to look at these current issues and think about how far ADR can help.

We are most grateful to the following speakers who have agreed to help us with the day:-

  • Dr John Avery Jones, Judge of the First Tier Tax Tribunal
  • James Bullock, Partner, McGrigors LLP
  • Simon Burke, Group Tax Director, Legal & General
  • Dennis Dixon HMRC Solicitors Office
  • Gabs Makhlouf, HMRC
  • Graham Massie, Director, Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution, London
  • Daniel Sandler, Partner, Couzin Taylor LLP, Toronto
  • Rupert Shiers, Partner, McGrigors LLP

Those interested in attending should apply to ctl@law.cam.ac.uk by midday Wednesday 11th November.

Please note that we are making some slight changes to the running arrangements and hope to start at 10.00 not 10.10. We hope to finish at 15.45.

We at the Centre for Tax Law are enormously grateful to Rupert Shiers for his enthusiastic and unstinting help with organising the day as well as speaking.

Lunch will be included. The dishes available include vegetarian options but please let me know of any more particular needs.

Charge for the day (£45) payable by cheque made out to University of Cambridge, please.
