“HOW DID YOU THINK MHML WERE FUNDING THE NEW LIGHTING?”
In summary:
My co-directors, past and present consider Mrs Hillgarth’s accusations and innuendos to be indicative of no more or no less a spiteful vendetta brought about for various reasons including our insistence she complied with her lease covenants and to desist in signing off her tenancy agree- ments maintaining that all consents had been granted. As requested of her on numerous occasions, as indeed did our previous agents, that by not complying whilst a Director of MHML it made it im- possible to maintain compliance on other matters when dealing with other lessees.
This animosity was further aggravated once scheduling commenced in early 2012 on an Internals refurbishment due to her insistence on an extensive and expensive remodelling of the interior which far exceeded available funds in Reserves, necessitating a substantial call on lessees for additional funding.
This eventually resulted in Mrs Hillgarth, whilst remaining a Director of MHML, progressing an RTM application in mid 2013 which although was aborted for legal reasons, resulted in delaying the Inter- nals schedule yet further and subsequently required both Internals and Externals to
run concurrently in 2014 which caused yet further antipathy between her co-directors and Mrs Hill- garth as she considered a concurrent workings to be inappropriate and unnecessary.
And finally, due to her continuing animosity, disruptive and deceitful behaviour she was required to resign her directorship in September 2014 and has subsequently pursued an agenda of maligning and criticising MHML and its directors persistently and inciting other lessees to do same.
One result of which was your letter dated 23 March 2016 containing a list of fabricated lies and innu- endos as evidenced by our comprehensive reply with supporting documentation to thoroughly dis- pute almost each and every accusation and observation made to date on innumerable occasions in numerous correspondence over a three year period.
As items above (i) to (xxii) make clear, your baseless accusatory correspondence is the result of ei- ther a dishonest client or a memory challenged one, but without doubt an affair which you have very limited awareness of the actual facts as your recent correspondence evidences.
I aslo consider some of the statements made in your correspondence to date to be inflammatory, in- sulting and irrelevant, most especially from a Solicitor hiding behind the privilege of his profession. I refer in particular to “digging a hole” which reminded me of your client’s previous Solicitor’s classic faux-pas prophecying that the RTM was a “fait accomplis” instead of servicing their ignorant client with due diligence and good legal advice, which in that instance was her RTM was not possible and in your present representation of her would be to withdraw her petty baseless spiteful accusations as the evidence against them is overwhelming, audio or no audio.
I also consider the statement made in your letter dated 7 November 2016: “Let it be clear that I am not making any insinuations or innuendos. I am accusing you straightforwardly of dishonesty, blackmail and fraud, and until clear evidence is produced to refute these accusations, I shall con- tinue to do so. (Please ask yourself whether the lessees would ever have approved your section 20 letter of 22 June 2014 if they had understood that over £30,000, and possibly more, would be paid to you and your sub-contractors). You have deceived the lessees all along as to the colour of the walls (all recorded on emails), you have deceived them on the specifications, you have deceived them on the costs. Your website was one enormous fabrication. You are a habitual and persistent liar. And if you think that is defamatory, then go ahead and sue. The courts are available to you. I would welcome it” to be unprofessional and libellous as this letter was copied to all lessees by Mrs Hillgarth on your instructions?
And set the precedent for your client’s equally libellous comment in her email sent to all lessees on 2 January 2019: “I suspect that with all the amount of money you stole from your [the] leaseholders over the years of your management you have plenty of money to survive “
So I suggest you request of your client the answer to “How did you think MHML were funding the new Lighting?” but do not make the same error as you have recently and attempt to
answer it yourself with some cock‘n bull imaginative counter conclusion because believe me there
