To illustrate that by one example, in the Fletcher Annex, SKAT rehearsed over several pages of close detail a factual case about the incorporation and use of a BVI company, Wappineer Ltd, and four English subsidiaries of that company, for the receipt, ultimately for the benefit of Messrs Fletcher and Devonshire jointly, of their success fees under the arrangement described in paragraph 195 of the main body of this judgment. Within that detail, a submission was made that Mr Fletcher had given “obviously untruthful” evidence that Wappineer was incorporated and used with a view to making it less likely that Mr Murphy could find out about that new deal, and that it was to be inferred that the real purpose was concealment of the fees earned by Messrs Fletcher and Devonshire “from regulators and tax authorities, such as SKAT”.
