On Monday 27 April 2020, the Privy Council will hear the appeals of Director of Public Prosecutions v Lagesse & Anor (Mauritius). This appeal will consider whether the Supreme Court of Mauritius was wrong to overturn the dismissal of the charges against the appellants and to order a retrial, or whether the hearing at which it did so was unfair.

On Wednesday 29 April 2020, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal of The Advocate General representing the Commissioners of HMRC v K E Entertainments Ltd (Scotland) .This appeal will consider whether the taxpayer (K E Entertainment Ltd)’s claim to a repayment of VAT fell within the scope of the Principal VAT Directive, Articles 73 and 90, together with (if necessary) VAT Regulation 38 (as the taxpayer contends) or within VAT Act section 80 and is therefore time-barred (as the Commissioners contend).
