Court ruling reinforces the ‘one rule for some’ rule……….
3% return before expenses and taxes (LOL) why bother?!
Sadly the PPE scandal was government sanctioned corruption, so the law cannot punish them in a lot of cases and everyone involed will use the classic ‘i was a bit dumb but my heart was in the right place’ defense – a Boris classic.
Just wait until Reform are in and the schemes they come up with to siphon off public money. It will dwarf even this.
Of course she can. If she can fleece the government for 100m+ without issue then whats another 15k between friends? /s
So uk justice doesn’t apply to anyone wealthy… Always handy to get a reminder, cheers.
But don’t you dare claim £1 more than you should if you spend all the spare time you have looking after an infirm relative or there will be hell to pay.
It seems the government was trying to retrieve some credibility but the courts cannot assist.
>At a hearing at the Insolvency and Companies Court last month, barristers for the three joint administrators asked for PPE Medpro to be kept in administration to pay off some creditors.
>It was ordered to pay the government £148 million in October ***and allegedly owes £39 million in unpaid tax.***
Nice little reminder at the end, not content only with using an existential crisis to rip off over £100m from UK taxpayers, these people also didn’t bother paying any tax and left the business with tens of millions of pounds owed.
It really does beggar belief how these people get away with it. If a normal person did even a tiny fraction of this their life would be over.
I’m actually ok with this, the assets themselves are frozen in case they need to be used to pay off a fine, but she’s only under investigation and it’s not clear how illegal what she did was.
Their company clearly got the contract through contacts and not fair tendering, but tbh in the context of trying to get PPE in 2020, I don’t have a problem with that either. This case centres around whether the PPE was shit and overpriced because they were legitimately trying to get decent stuff in a market where it was very hard, or whether they intentionally took the money and didn’t do what they said they would.
Unpopular I’m sure but limited liability companies are limited liability for a reason, and your personal assets aren’t on the line if a company goes legitimately bust.
