Judicial Summary

  1. A First-tier Tribunal evaluating evidence in a child support case needs to apply relevant tax law. 2. In the admittedly difficult situation where a party with relevant information has chosen not to attend, care is nonetheless required to avoid accepting submissions made by the other parties which are contrary to the available evidence and/or what appear as concessions but which in reality assist the party making them.
