It’s bad news for Ron Martin haters training ground already started, once it’s finished by October, the new stadium 🏟 will start building.
The interpretation around the very limited circumstances in which VAT is payable in a land sale is arguably unclear, complex and confused. Gov has been threatening to clear it up for an age. It is not impossible that Ron’s understanding of the rules is rather better than that of our extremely overworked and underpaid public servants…Sounds like it was one of these extremely technical cases where there are grey areas in the law and it might not actually be clear whether the tax in question was even legally due.
It is not one of the more complex structures of companies I've seen! Not even close.Probably the lawyer opened the book describing the myriad of companies involved and went on long term sick leave.
Same, it’s wind up Ron Martin haters too.Im very pleased RM has been cleared ,its not only good for him and his family but SUFC also,
question i ask . Is RM due compensation from HRMC for money spent on lawyers etc for his defence. I ask because many years ago my son who was just 19 at that time and worked for the casino in Melbourne was attacked while hailing a taxi in the city by a gang of Vietnamese kids. he was knocked to the ground and saw one of the viets running at him in a threatening manner ,he quickly jumped to his feet and sent the Viet flying.The police on arrival placed charges against my son for assault. My son in his defence told them that the viet kid had a knife in his hand ,there was blood coming from my sons ear ,anyway to cut the story short in court my son produced doctors evidence that the blood was from a knife cut , the judge ordered the charges to be immediately dropped and compensation for my sons defence to be paid by the police.
Yep and Ron will own the lot and the club will own nothing and have no assets and no doubt be charged a high rent to train and play in them new facilities by the Martin family…..cheers RonIt’s bad news for Ron Martin haters training ground already started, once it’s finished by October, the new stadium 🏟 will start building.

Is he still involved with the club?Just to clarify, this also applies to Geoffrey King.
He’s not a director anymore of any of the associated companiesIs he still involved with the club?
Judge has thrown the case out!
"Mr Martin’s legal representatives applied for the case to be dismissed on the basis that there was simply no evidence to support the misconceived allegations made by HMRC. In a robust ruling, applying the first limb of the Galbraith test, His Honour Judge Hiddleston agreed, dismissing the charges against Mr Martin and quashing the indictment."

— R v Galbraith 73 Cr.App.R.124, CA“(1) If there is no evidence that the crime alleged has been committed by the defendant, there is no difficulty - the judge will stop the case.
(2) The difficulty arises where there is some evidence but it is of a tenuous character, for example because of inherent weakness or vagueness or because it is inconsistent with other evidence.
(a) Where the judge comes to the conclusion that the prosecution evidence, taken at its highest, is such that a jury properly directed could not properly convict upon it, it is his duty, upon a submission being made, to stop the case.
(b) Where however the prosecution evidence is such that its strength or weakness depends on the view to be taken of a witness’s reliability or other matters which are generally speaking within the province of the jury and where on one possible view of the facts there is evidence upon which a jury could properly come to the conclusion that the defendant is guilty, then the judge should allow the matter to be tried by the jury. ”
