Tom Parker

Tom Parker represented HMRC in a contested application for an Account Forfeiture Order. HMRC’s case was that the funds in the accounts, totalling over £400,000, represented the proceeds of a complex money laundering scheme involving 15 different companies, including two estate agencies. Following a three-day hearing, the court ordered forfeiture of the full amount.

Tom Parker regularly acts in high-value forfeiture matters, for both applicants and respondents. He is instructed in an upcoming contested hearing, due to be heard in April 2026, in which HMRC are seeking forfeiture of three accounts containing over £1.7 million, alleged to represent the proceeds of a trade-based money laundering scheme.
