AFAIK ... should HMRC fail here, they can only appeal if this judge and judgement grants it. And the Supreme Court in London does not want to be bothered if there are no new legal things to ponder. Which has been the case the last two rounds, hasn't it?

the judges have granted them leave to appeal in the previous 2 tribunals. Unfortunately I think they'll do it again

Nothing to do with the High Court in London it would be the Supreme Court, two separate bodies.

I'll reserve judgement until the verdict is announced.

AFAIK and as was written elsewhere, the Supreme Court will only look at cases if there are new matters of law that require their verdict. They take a dim view on judges sending cases to them that have none. Sample ...

Sample

Permission to appeal be refused because the application does not raise an arguable point of law of general public importance which ought to be considered by the Supreme Court at this time bearing in mind that the case has already been the subject of judicial decision and reviewed on appeal.
