HMRC v Banerjee

Comment

One cannot help having some sympathy for the applicant in this case. By having asked the court for its assistance in reducing the chances of being identified as the subject of litigation she has ended up with a public judgment which not only names her but draws attention to her attempt to conceal her identity. The lesson for any litigant who wishes to conceal their involvement in litigation is clear: be absolutely sure that you have good grounds for making the application, make it as early as possible and ensure that the order sought is practicable.
