    Baker Tilly faces negligence claim

    Claimants allege the firm was negligent in its advice concerning tax relief on investments in film finance.

    Author Date published June 6, 2008 Categories

    Baker Tilly is facing a negligence claim worth £22m for advice given about
    the availability of tax relief on investments in film finance schemes.

    A total of 75 claimants have brought the claim, filed in the High court in
    2006, against tax specialist Adrian Shipwright of Pump Court Tax Chambers and
    Baker Tilly for advice they gave the claimants, which include Terra Firma chief
    executive Guy Hands,
    Legal
    Week     reported.

    Baker Tilly is being advised by Barlows’ newly-appointed senior partner
    Simon Konsta, with Four New Square’s Justin Fenwick QC and David Turner
    instructed as counsel.

    The case is set to go to trial for four weeks at the end of June after talks
    between the parties are thought to have failed.
