In Nigel Bell v HMRC [2016] TC04969 a director failed to secure EIS relief: some shares were not issued in time. Another case where HMRC failed to make a valid discovery assessment.

In Alan Castledine v HMRC [2016] TC04930 it was decided that deferred shares fell within the meaning of 'ordinary shares' for CGT Entrepreneurs’ Relief.
