The next meeting is a mock tribunal hearing concering a revenues liability issue. David Magor (IRRV Chief Executive)will be appearing as the appellant and will be challenged by Gary Watson (IRRV Deputy Chief Executive) representing the Authority. The scene will be set and the case placed before those present before the case is heard The afternoon will be lighthearted but instructive, for anyone that is hoping for some tips in presenting to tribunals, wants a refresher or simply wants to witness this "travesty of British Justice" this is a must!
This will truly be the clash of the titans!
