Notable Upper Tribunal cases concerned supplies closely related to education (Loughborough Students’ Union v HMRC) and an important decision relating to VAT assessment time limits (Rasul v HMRC).

Joseph also specialises in local authority enforcement and regulatory crime. He was led junior in the significant joined appeals concerning the power of local weights and measures authorities to prosecute ‘consumer offences’ under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, reported as R v AUH [2022] EWCA Crim 1113. In addition to the prosecution of consumer protection, trading standards, illegal money lending, and planning offences (R v Western Trading, Court of Appeal), Joseph is instructed in licensing appeals and appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).

Consistent with his practice areas, Joseph has considerable experience of confiscation proceedings.
