Tobacco Smuggling Compensation - The R V Chambers Review
MILTON FIRMAN is spearheading a campaign against HM Customs (HMRC) for compensation for those Defendants wrongly fined for tobacco (cigarette) smuggling and importation
Press Release (PressBurner) Oct 14, 2009 - Legal adviser MILTON FIRMAN is leading the campaign for compensation following the recent case of CHAMBERS. What is clear is that up to 4000 people may well have a substantial claim for damages because they were ordered to pay the otherwise unpaid duty though they were not the importer.
FIRMAN says:
"The wrong law was applied. People lost their bank balance, their homes and their liberty, on occasions. They now should have a massive claim for compensation."
HMRC are currently reviewing the cases and Firman has requested details of the current position, though HMRC seem cagey
He adds:
"I am ensuring they get on with it as people have lost everything as a result of their cock up."
