SECOND GROUND OF APPEAL

SECOND GROUND OF APPEAL

80.

As set out at the beginning of this Decision, the Second Ground of Appeal was that the FTT erred in law when it decided that the absence of a reference in the Appellant’s Grounds to it holding valid invoices meant that the Tribunal’s jurisdiction is supervisory.
