“Case was fully funded for the initial stage” Clause 24.
“We need to raise £15,000 as quickly as possible (and then a further £35,000), to enable our experienced legal team to fight Clause 24 and take this matter as far as the Judicial Review process will allow. Your financial support would be greatly appreciated.”
Chris Cooper and Steve Bolton have seen their initial target of £50,000 achieved from over 700 backers for their fight against Clause 24 “The following points clearly demonstrate that a “level playing field” does not exist now and we believe that Clause 24 is unlawful and should be challenged on a number of fronts”. They are aiming to get the government to overturn their decision to tax property owners on that part of the rent that has been paid to the lender as mortgage interest.
