The Final Movember Update !

30 days on and it's nearly all over! So far the Ro No Mo Bros have raised £792 in online donations and £90 in cash/cheques and in most cases not exactly looked our best for the past month! (see attached photos!)

Many thanks to those of you who have donated so far.

We would however really like to break the £1000 barrier so if anyone else would like to donate now that the challenge has been successfully completed it is not too late to do so and we would welcome any donation however small.

You can do so by clicking on the link below and then clicking on 'donate to team' or on individual team members names in the 'team summary' list:-

Many thanks for your support so far. Other than updating you as to the final amount raised we promise this is the last message you will receive on the subject until it all starts again next Movember!

All the best

Movember!

"Movember" is upon us and Rogers & Norton are delighted to announce our support for what is a very worthy cause.

For those of you who are not aware the idea behind Movember is for those taking part (known as 'Mo Bros') to grow moustaches for the 30 days of November to raise cash for and awareness of mens cancer charities and specifically Prostate and Testicular cancers. (see website at http://uk.movember.com/).

Some of the more manly male members of Rogers & Norton have formed "The Ro No Mo Bros" and as the month progresses we will be charting our progress by posting photos on the Movember website and our news blog http://rogers-norton.blogspot.co.uk

Successes for Rogers and Norton Litigation Team

Rogers & Norton's litigation team is delighted to report two recent successes on claims involving HM Revenue and Customs and the Border Agency.

The team, led by Peter Hastings, acted for a company who had been served with an assessment for alleged excise duty for a sum in excess of £200,000. On review, and after a detailed submission on matters of European law and UK law and the Excise Goods (Holding, Movement and Duty Point) Regulations 2010, the assessment was withdrawn, much to the delight of the Firm's client.

The team also acted for an International Company who imported silver granules into the UK which were detained but released after representations made by the team, including the failure of HMRC and the Border Agency to provide sufficient grounds to justify detention.

Peter commented "In both cases, substantial sums were involved and there could have been serious consequences for these businesses if we had not acted quickly and successfully.  Our work in connection with HMRC has expanded considerably and with great success".

The team is currently acting on numerous other cases involving HMRC and the Border Agency including a seizure of gold, advising on misfeasance claims and insolvency related matters. It represents clients locally, throughout the UK and Internationally and also appears in the Tax Tribunal and conducts Judicial Review proceedings in addition to Appeals and Condemnation Proceedings.
