Accountants not negligent for failing to refer client to non-dom specialist (Court of Appeal) | Practical Law

The Court of Appeal has held that a firm of accountants was not negligent for failing to advise a client that he might be non-UK domiciled and should therefore seek advice from an adviser specialising in tax planning for non-domiciled individuals, reversing the High Court decision. This is a detailed update on the Court of Appeal decision. (Mehjoo v Harben Barker (a firm) and another [2014] EWCA Civ 358.)
