-14- SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT TO CITY OF LONDON POLICE and to THE INSOLVENCY SERVICE mitre house management limited (“mhml”) – company no: 07731341 mitre house, 124 King’s road, london sW3 4tP (“mitre house” or “the Property”) directors of mhml: Paul Brown-constable, dima international limited (Jamil raja) and segar Karupiah (resigned 29 september 2016) (together “the directors”). vance for service charge payments. it is important to bear in mind that this is a client account, and is not money belonging to mhml. o mhml’s account no: 23433668 (the “Priceplan Xs account”). this is the most active current account, from which most of the service charge costs, such as cleaners, lift mainte- nance, utilities and so on are paid. these costs have been generally financed by regular trans- fers from the “demands account” below. o mhml’s Business instant access account no: 23434068 (the “demands account”). this is the account into which the leaseholders pay the service charge demands. the receipts are then transferred out to mhml’s Priceplan Xs account or to the leaseholders’ reserve account. o mhml’s Business Bank client account no: 24410868 (the “rent deposit account”), on which there seem to be no transactions, except very small interest credits. i believe it may be a rent deposit account in respect of flat 1. it was presumably for a deposit of £12,000 and had a credit balance of £12.058.06 on 9 december 2016. however it is not relevant for the purpose of this report. o mhml’s account no: 25809768 (the “mystery account”). it is not at all clear what this account is for. nor do we have any bank statements for it. that is why i refer to it as the “mystery account”. however a number of unexplained payments have been made to it from the demands account – see below. A CONSIDERED RESPONSE: AS WELL EXPLAINED AND VERY CLOSELY PERUSED BY MRS HILLGARTH DURING THE 23 MAY 2014 BOARD MEETING, MHML’S ACCOUNT NO: 25809768 (THE “MYSTERY ACCOUNT”) IS ACTUALLY MHML’S DEPOSIT ACCOUNT The Order for Discovery - 24. an order for discovery of (inter alia) all Bank accounts of mhml for 2014, 2015 and 2016 was made in the context of the proceedings against mhml in the first-tier Property tribunal in June 2017. however together with a large volume of other corporate records, including invoices and other papers, these were delivered at the eleventh hour before the tribunal hearing such that it was impossible for the claimants to assess, in time for the hearing, what they had received and what they had not received. A CONSIDERED RESPONSE: AN ORDER FOR DISCOVERY WAS MADE FOR THE SERVICE CHARGE ACCOUNTS 2014 TO DATE (JUNE 2017) AND WERE ALL SUPPLIED TO MAUNDER TAYLOR ON 23 JUNE 2017 WHO ACTUALLY FAIRLY REFERENCED OUR ACCOUNTS “AS IN QUITE GOOD ORDER” TO THE TRIBUNAL JUDGES ON 26 JUNE 2017 25. one of the things the claimants had not received was the bank statements for mhml’s Priceplan Xs account for 2014 (although they did receive the bank statements for mhml’s Pri- ceplan Xs account for 2015 and 2016). nor had they received the bank statements for any year for mhml’s mystery account no: 25809768. THE SERVICE CHARGE ACCOUNTS 2014 TO DATE (JUNE 2017) WERE ALL SUPPLIED TO Please refer to attached “ADDENDUM/FURTHER REFERENCES” in suPPort of argument
