The whole point of this is to ensure that IR do not 'bypass' the law, the law itself will let them do it thus saving millions of pounds of the law abiding tax payers money. Laws are and should always be an evolving beast updated as and when we can improve society through application of common sense.

as a democracy I reckon I'm on the side of the majority so like it or not its those who don't pay who should sod off(BTW, you seem to have taken this as a personal command from the way your response was worded, my comment was that freeloaders should be the ones on their way out. If you don't agree with this then I am at a loss to how this post fits with teh philosophy that your other posts on AW project.)

perhaps if it was teh case large companies wouldn't 'swing teh lead' in late payments to smaller companies and it could save a good few from bankrupcy.

Draconian - no
Big Brother - an imaginary beast wheeled out when someone is trying to sensationalise something. In the original novel it was about control of people not the application of law and order.
