His Majesty The King has been pleased to approve the appointment of Sir James Dingemans as the Senior President of Tribunals.

Background

Biography of candidate

Lord Justice Dingemans was called to the Bar (Inner Temple) in 1987 and took Silk in 2002. He was appointed as a Recorder in 2002, authorised to hear cases under section 9(1) of the Senior Courts Act 1981 in the King’s Bench division in 2010 and a High Court Judge in 2013. He was a Presiding Judge on the Western Circuit between 2015 and 2018 and was elevated to the Court of Appeal in 2019. He served as Vice President of the King’s Bench Division between 2020 and 2025, and as lead judge for international relations for the judiciary between 2021 and 2025.

The appointment

The appointment of the Senior President of Tribunals is made by His Majesty The King on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Lord Chancellor following the recommendation of an independent selection panel chaired by Baroness Carr, the Lady Chief Justice. The other panel members were: Lady Wise (President of the Scottish Tribunals), Helen Pitcher OBE (Chair of the JAC), Ms Sue Hoyle OBE (Lay JAC Commissioner) and Ms Clare McGlynn (Lay JAC Commissioner).

The Senior President of Tribunals (“SPT”) is a free-standing judicial office created by Parliament through the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. The SPT is the independent head of the reserved tribunals’ judiciary in the United Kingdom.

The SPT establishes and communicates the judicial strategic direction within the tribunals’ jurisdiction and is the judicial leader of more than 5000 judicial office holders. The SPT is supported by 14 Tribunal Presidents, and works with them to ensure the tribunals system is accessible, efficient and fair. The SPT has a number of statutory responsibilities, which includes representing the views of tribunal judges and members to Parliament, the Lord Chancellor and Ministers and having responsibility for training, welfare and guidance within tribunals. The Senior President will regularly liaise with the geographic Chief Justices, the heads of devolved tribunals in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Heads of Division and the Senior Presiding Judge in England and Wales, and the Judicial Offices in each jurisdiction, as well as Ministers and senior officials in each Government, to discuss strategy and operational issues affecting the tribunals justice system.

SACM11050 - Claims involving two or more years: share loss relief claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-19)


Background

Share Loss Relief under s131 and 132 ITA 07 (SLR) allows the claimant to obtain relief in the tax year in which the allowable loss arose (“year 2”), the previous tax year (“year 1”) or both tax years. For more information on SLR, see VCM70100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm70100)

The Supreme Court judgment in R (on the application of Derry) v HMRC (‘Derry’) means that, where a carry back SLR claim is made with regards to year 1, it is a claim made in that tax return. This is contrary to other loss carry back claims made under Sch 1B (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/self-assessment-claims-manual/sacm11010), which says the claim shall always relate to the later year (year 2).

Method of enquiry

Relief is claimed for the year in which the allowable loss arose only. There is no change to the law. If the SLR claim was made before the section 8 TMA 1970 notice was issued for year 2 (the year of the loss), then it was made outside of a return. The SLR claim can be enquired into under Schedule 1A TMA 1970. The loss made from the sale of the shares must also be included in the year 2 Self-Assessment tax return (SATR) when it is submitted. If an enquiry under Schedule 1A TMA 1970 wasn’t opened into the SLR claim made outside the return, an enquiry can be opened under section 9A TMA 1970 into the year 2 SATR which should include the loss. If the SLR claim was made in the year 2 SATR, then the SLR claim can only be enquired into under section 9A TMA 1970. If the SLR claim was made after the year 2 SATR was submitted but within the statutory time limit for an amendment, the SLR claim is treated as an amendment to that year’s SATR. The SLR claim can only be enquired into under section 9A TMA 1970. The table summarises the position for claims made for the year in which the loss was made:

Relief is claimed for both years. Where the claim is for relief in the year of the loss and the previous year, this will be treated as two claims for tax administration purposes. There will need to be a valid enquiry into both claims to be able to challenge both years. The principles set out above apply to each year’s SLR claim.

There is more information about how an SLR claim should be made for two years at VCM74020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm74020)and VCM74030 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm74030)

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Solar Capture Technologies will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Solar Capture Technologies recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

MVV Environmental gets permit for Canford energy from waste site
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-11)

Environmental permit sets out strict conditions on operation of the proposed site at Poole in Dorset

Following extensive public consultation, the Environment Agency has granted an environmental permit to the operators of a proposed energy from waste site in Poole, Dorset today.

In reaching the decision, after considering all feedback from the local community and interested groups, the agency agreed that MVV Environmental Ltd, of Canford Resource Park, Arena Way, Magna Road, Poole, Dorset, had met all of the necessary criteria required for the environmental permit to be issued.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said:

We have carefully considered all of the submissions and feedback we received during our public consultations, and we thank everyone who took the time to contact us with their views.

This permit will ensure that robust levels of environmental protection are applied. Our permitting decision process is objective and based on the applicant demonstrating they will meet the legal requirements outlined in the permit.

Where an application meets the requirements of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations (2016) the agency must issue a permit. An environmental permit sets the conditions which MVV Environmental Ltd must adhere to when operating the site. It covers the management and operation of the site and the control and monitoring of emissions.

When the Environment Agency considers a permit application, it reviews the design of the proposed site, how it will be operated, the emissions it will generate (to air, water and land) and whether it will meet the required standards. Partner organisations, including the UK Health Security Agency, are also consulted as part of the process.

Issues such as suitability of the location, operating hours and traffic management are matters for the planning authority, not the Environment Agency. The Environment Agency can only consider issues covered by the environmental permit and can only refuse a permit application based on technical information.

The planning process and permitting process are separate and neither one depends on the other. The Environment Agency can issue a permit without planning approval, and planning approval can be issued without a permit decision. However, MVV Environment Ltd cannot start operating before both have been granted.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Severn Trent PLC will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Severn Trent PLC recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
We also pledge the following:

Apprenticships for cadets

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

IEIM400820 - Investment Entity: Trusts Managed by a Financial Institution
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-22)


Trusts Managed by a Financial Institution

A trust is typically regarded as being managed by a Financial Institution where either one or more of the trustees is a Financial Institution [see IEIM400600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-exchange-of-information/ieim400600)] or the trustees have appointed a Financial Institution, such as a discretionary fund manager, to manage the trust’s assets or to manage the trust.

Does a Financial Institution Manage the Trust?

A Financial Institution will manage the trust where it has been appointed by the trustees to carry out the day to day functions of the trust on behalf of the trustees. This goes beyond managing the investment of the trust’s assets and includes other management functions that the trustees have to perform but which are contracted to the Financial Institution.

Does a Financial Institution Manage the Financial Assets of the Trust?

A Financial Institution manages the financial assets of the trust where it has discretion to manage the investments or investment strategy for the assets. This will usually be where the trust has appointed a discretionary fund manager to manage their portfolio or a part thereof. The appointment of a discretionary fund manager will be evidenced by an agreement between the parties that provides for discretionary management.

Where the trustees of a trust invest in retail investments and the trustees make the decision on what investments to make, the arrangement will not amount to discretionary management. The Glossary of Definitions in the Financial Services Handbook (https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.handbook.fca.org.uk%2Fhandbook%2Fglossary%2F%3Fstarts-with%3DR&data=05%7C01%7Cjacek.kuchta%40hmrc.gov.uk%7C366d5d10551b4be141df08db0da16313%7Cac52f73cfd1a4a9a8e7a4a248f3139e1%7C0%7C0%7C638118759013468653%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=4XdQgcMUm5idIetPjJpt3fpUSUe6XgpUsiMhWWPy3Ok%3D&reserved=0) defines both retail investment and retail investment activity.
