Investigations by Revenue into Authorised Officers Report

Ms Josephine Feehily:
We went to the High Court for the underlying documents. What was interesting about it, which I guess is why I referenced it, is that it would have broken the law. High Court orders are all held in camerabut the case was held in open court over three days. It was a very considerable judgment. It took nearly two years before we got the perfected judgment and the documents that came to us under that process all had to be vetted by the Courts Service before we could receive them. It was very interesting.
