Nothing new from HMC&E then. I always thought there was something called 'burden of proof' or something.

The legislation that covers our activities differs from that of other agencies (such as the Police) in that there is a burden of proof but it rest with the trader not the Department.
Red diesel offences are particularly unique in English law in that there is no appeal process.

Guilty until proven innocent then when goverments talk about money. Nuff said. :shock:

Just like having your car siezed for being suspected of 'smuggling' duty paid beer/wine/tobbaco into the country?
Edit> A thought just occored to me (my head hurts now), given the 2 above quotes, does that mean people who are even suspected of using red diesel on the roads are just guilty. End of story. No chance even to prove their innocense?
Makes me wonder if HMC&E wasnt thought up by Saddam or the KGB.
