Considered responses
1. The Claimant is one of nine leaseholders in a block of flats at mitre house, King’s road, london SW3.
2. The First Defendant Company, mitre house management limited (“mhml”), was established in august 2011 by the Claimant and the three individual Defendants to this action to acquire the head lease of mitre house. each of the four individuals held 25% of the share capital of mhml and each of the four became a director of mhml (in the case of the Fourth Defendant through a corporate director, Dima international limited, of which he is the sole shareholder and sole director).
3. Thus mhml became the head landlord of mitre house and, notwithstanding objections from certain leaseholders, chose to manage mitre house itself (rather than through a professional managing agent) on behalf of the leaseholders.
