Squiggle, my client would still be liable for the underpaid tax as it is his responsibility to ensure that the tax return is correct and it is not as if he has lost out on the tax as he should have paid it in the first place. He might have a case to make a claim for any interest he was charged or any fees he was charged for correcting the error but I think these would be too small to justify the cost and time involved in making a claim.

I was thinking along the lines of him trusting their professional expertise that his tax was correct and then using the money elsewhere, not realising that there was a debt EL.

Howdy doody all

Weather has not made its mind up yet. Sunny then cloud then....well you get the drift

Sweet, sounds like yours is a good explanation for your dreams I didn't sleep too well but that's normal for me

No need for apologies Have a great day off

 

Yogi, I hope you have a lovely day with PB and Harv and get loads of cuddles until your cuddle-o-meter is set to burst

 

El, good luck with your accountancy exploits. Sounds like a mind field to me

 

Squiggle, I hope you have a lovely day

See you all later

Squiggle, I think that the client would have to demonstrate that he had suffered financial loss as a result. This is an article I found on the subject:

http://www.crippslaw.com/guida...ional-negligence.pdf

If you read the section headed Loss which starts at the end of page 2 I think this supports my thought that he could only be successful on interest and fee costs, not on the tax itself. I did try copying it here but it does not work.

 

 

 

Interesting article, thanks EL.  Still shocking professional negligence on the part of his former accountants, thank goodness he has you now.

Just seen a man in a yellow reflective jacket on a motorised buggy slowly driving on the pavement all down my road, stop at the corner, turn round and drive back still on the pavement. Must be a workman doing some sort of survey but don't know what it's about. No mention of it on the council's roadworks lists

 

 

Afternoon

No my dream didn't conclude, they never usually do and I've had similar dreams all week, and have awoken at the same time every morning.
I've always been an active dreamer but this week's are more intense. I would bet that they stop once my walk is complete- I have been training since new year and now the big day is very close...

I've been to town to run an errand for mr summer, and SIL was going anyway so we decided to go in together, have lunch and then shop.
I very rarely shop, I don't enjoy it, but I did get a new pair of jeans and a pair of shoes for work I had more bags from m&s food than anywhere else

El, thank goodness you spotted the error in your new clients accounts! I hope it can all be rectified

Squiggle, I'm like that with plants, but I'm sure it won't be long before they flourish

Summer, I hope you got something nice to eat from M&S.

I can't take much credit for spotting the error in that client's tax as it was so basic that I would be ashamed with myself if I hadn't spotted it. I do wonder though how the exisitng accountants didn't spot it.

 

Very strange indeed, maybe they were unwell or very tired at the time. Really, it should have been double checked shouldn't it

I bought what I need to make spaghetti bolognese, a favourite of mine I also picked up a new potato/egg salad, I absolutely love it

Oh and some strawberries & meringue nests may have fell into my basket too 

That's unfortunate if you had to pay for them, I hope you will be able to make use of them

 

Yes, take pity on them Summer, they are bound to be nice and safe in your tummy

Sweet, sounds like you had a great day off

Just one thing, where's me doggy bag?

Spag bol may be a good substitute

You are allowed to keep strawberries & meringue nests for yourself

El, your posts show the importance of having a good accountant.

Squiggle, I share your impatience when waiting for plants to grow. I think I was at the back of the queue when patience was being handed out.

Summer, I don't like shopping for clothes either. Food shopping is better - and meringues and strawberries falling into your trolley is my favourite kind of 'accident'.

What have you been up to today, Moonie?

PB had a bit of a cold but it didn't seem to bother her too much. She has been singing, dancing and chasing the dogs. It's a good job both dogs have soft natures and love her. And I got lots of cuddles and some kisses too.

Hi Yogi

I have been to the bank, washed and dried a huge line of washing and even managed to fit some gardening in too

 

Awww tis a shame about Pb's cold but as you say, it didn't seem to bother her much

Singing and dancing? She is a talented little gal Even the dogs got her attention

Oh! whooooooo hooooooooo cuddles and kisses too fabbbbbbbbbby

You must be worn out now then?

 Ever so slightly. 

You have been a busy bee! I hope you are relaxing now?

But it was worth every second 

I am relaxing fankoo. Things are looking a little better every little bit I do in the garden

Absolutely!

It is very satisfying when you stand back and see the improvement in the garden, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

It does indeed
It looks so much better than it did a few months a Yogi

Mine does too, although I noticed there are a few more weeds in the front borders which need removing.

Weeds are definitely the most prolific growers in my garden

Someone once said a weed is simply a flower which is growing in the wrong place. Why do so many have to choose my garden?

And mine too

Oh, I got some weed/flower like thing growing in places in my garden. It looks like asparagus but very small. When matured it turns into a blue flowered stem. If pulled out has no roots

I don't know what that might be.

I shall get a piccie tomorrow and post it here

 Great.

I had some pretty weeds growing in the back garden. They appeared last year (seemed to have spread from next door) and I managed to find out what they were - but I've forgotten. They have reappeared this year.

I had some blue, what I thought where plants but many years ago my dad said they where just weeds. Only seemed to appear in the crazy paving

I've been trying to find out what my weed/flowers are, but no luck.

I have to say some of the 'weeds flowers' are as good as the real thing

 Indeed they are. Mine are very pretty but they do spread like wildfire, so I have to pull them out.

I think this gardening thing is a pain in the ar..bum

 It can be, at times.

Still when the flowers begin to bloom, it makes it all worth while

*night owls* evening

 And when I eat the vegetables I've grown.

 

Evening Summer, have you had a good day?

Hi yogi I hope PB is soon recovered from her cold, sounds like she's been good fun today

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, good evening

Moonie ---->

Never been a veg grower Yogi
