0 January 2017: Meeting with Kingsley Napley
SS I will find it hard to find job earning 20% of what I used to earn. That is playing on
me. I have always been high achieving and in control and now I have no control over
my destiny. I went to flying school when I was 21.
SS I have dependants and family that I must support. I would be mad to give up my
income protection [payments] and get a job for the sake of it. I know you all keep
banging on about mitigating losses, but you wouldn't sell your house. I was
resourceful enough to take out the policy, I was paying the premium for it. I never
thought that I would get hit by car when I took it out. I shouldn't be penalised for
that. It is looking after all of us--------

lmmediately after Diamond Insurance settled the claim, Mr Solheim established a
company and found employment at £450 a day

SS ------- I would get the income protection [payments] to retirement but I know that's
not good for me. I'm 47 and not that sort of person.

TJD I understand. Ifs about sense of self, you need to be out there .......

Mr Solheim deliberately avoided finding new employment until after Diamond Insurance
paid his claim

SS I feel everyone else is moving on and I feel I'm on my own and if I don't use my
energy and push, then I feel no one cares. I feel that if I hadn't had own resources and
positivity I would be bankrupt. I would have no house; I wouldn't have made
maintenance payments. My ex-wife is tricky. I had a few months where I had a
shortfall and had exhausted everything else and my ex-wife wouldn't understand, and
I couldn't see the kids. That added to everything. With the interim payments, they
are always late and short, and not what we asked for. They are in control of it and I
feel we need to up game. --------

Mr Solheim has repeated, ad nauseum, the repeated claim that save for the Cirencester
income replacement payments he and his two families would have been destitute.
However, a detailed analysis of his bank and employment records shows that he was
generously supported by easyJet, sales of his shares and income from a number of and
was far from impoverished by alleged delays in Diamond's settlement.
