I have no reason to doubt that such words were said—I think by the Chartered Institute of Taxation—but it does not mean that I agree with them. Professional advisers should have warned those who were about to engage on the schemes or devices of the risk, and I am sure that many reputable advisers did so. If they did not warn of the risk, they could be sued because of effects that were unknown to the individual who entered into a device. If the advisers warned of the risk, the individual entered into it with eyes wide open and knew that the House could introduce a change in the law.
