What a shame to get caught on such a technicality, if only he had read the rules rather than just making it up as he went along.
Couldn't happen to a nicer chap, and I especially like how he tried (and failed) to invoke the human rights act which the right wing press seem to think is a magic get out of jail card - when they want to get rid of it that is.
Just to be clear HRA 1998 is not EU law (it's obviously UK law, albeit potentially subject to ECtHR if your appeal gets that far), so that is not ironic. What's ironic is that he (as mentioned above additionally) asserted EU freedoms laws as a defence per my comment in the link below.

Also, HRA 1998 will not be revoked on Brexit as far as I am aware (it's got nothing to do with EU law really).
Sorry to be boring but ECHR is nothing to do with the EU or the European Council it is a creature of the Council of Europe.
So he made a decision based on a lack of understanding of the key issues, and when reality dawned he refused to admit he'd been wrong?
At least he can take some comfort in the tribunal having upheld the sovereignty of Parliament.
I want to leave Europe, but before we go can I just rely on European law please to get a tax break....
Surely it goes against everything he stands for and shouldnt he be proud to pay the UK tax

UKIP holds itself out as a political party and we as the electorate have been able to vote for them.
I am not happy with this judgement my fiscal neurons are over heating.
Aeron could not have known at the time of him being generous to UKIP. CGT is payable when the transfer is made so he would have had interest imposed.
The legal definition of a political party seems unfair.
Sooner we are away from the shackles of the EU and it's unelected elites the better. Viva la revolucion.
The definition of political party for the purposes of this law seems somewhat arbitrary. But presumably a loan rather than a gift would have resulted in a different outcome.
I believe in harmony and strong intergovernmental working together but the EU confederacy has become too politically dominant seeking federation status. Imagine Heir Merkel as our president. Achtung!
Theresa May is signing a deal which means we will be effectively a colony of the EU and an external tariff tax collector for them for years. £39, 000,000,000 for a rule taker position with no say and bound to an EU customs union
Shame on you May !

Theresa May is taking us out of the EU. Ha Ha Ha... not really. She was only joking. Good job she wasn't PM in May 1940!
May's deal keeps us in the customs union so we will be tax collectors for the Eu vis a vis external tarifs. Yet we voted to leave. The deal will be voted down. £39.000.000.000 for a customs union and no future trade arrangement. We would be an EU colony fettered to a customs union with no power to transact trade deals with other countries.
Cameron and May have been a disaster.
