I would argue that the only reason the Revenue Commissioners would not appeal the decision to the High Court is that they knew they would likely lose. They are not people to stand on the sidelines; they will pursue someone if they think they are right.
History has shown us that if the process the Minister of State is putting in place had been there, many in the State would not have had justice served to them in their tax affairs.
