HMRC’s submissions

33.

Ms McArdle submitted that the FTT fell into error, when it found that it had jurisdiction to consider a public law challenge to the reasonableness of HMRC’s drawback decision pursuant to s16(5) FA 94 at [150]-[152]. She argued that in concluding that the jurisdiction and powers in s16(4) were incorporated in s16(5) by the words “shall also include”, the FTT erred in law.

34.

Her argument consisted of two parts: the FTT’s lack of any general public law jurisdiction on appeal; and specific consideration of s.16(5) FA 94 itself.
