PART 5:CHRONOLOGY OF INSURANCE CLAIMS
5.29 INCORPORATION OF CRS AVIATION: 19TH MARCH 2018

126. On 19th March 2018, the Claimant finalised the incorporation of a company – now
named CRS Aviation Limited - to handle his income as a ground training instructor. He
109
told LPJS that a Gatwick training company had agreed to engage him – via this company -
at £450 a day and that he anticipated working for 18 days a month for 11 months a year,
thereby generating around £90,000 per annum of gross “residual income”.

127. The Claimant appointed LPJS as a director of the company with a 50% shareholding.
LPJS thought this was good news , but when MJC heard about it he was not impressed:
110
commenting that the Claimant had told Kingsley Napley that he would be unable to find
a job as a ground training instructor and that his maximum future (“residual”) salary
would be £30,000 a year.

However, within 10 days of the Joint Settlement meeting the Claimant was up and
running and “ready to go at a salary of near £100,000 a year”. The Claimant
111
responded that “circumstances have changed”.

5.30 SETTLEMENT BY DIAMOND INSURANCE: 20TH APRIL 2018
128. On 20 April 2018, Diamond Insurance paid £325,159.94 into the Claimant’s bank
th
113
account. He appeared to relax, and MJC thought it was a new opportunity to ask the
Claimant to give evidence in the Final Hearing: but he again refused. MJC told him that
he “found it beyond belief that with £500,000 at stake”, the Claimant “would not engage
and get off his ass” and asked, “what am I missing?” There was no meaningful answer.

5.31 PREPARING FOR THE FINAL HEARING
129. The Claimant then said he would “consider putting something in writing”. MJC
emphasised that – to carry any weight- a sworn statement was needed that clarified the
status of the £500,000 and included a meaningful and accurate summary of his assets,
liabilities, income and expenditure. The Claimant did not object, but it was obvious that
he was not happy.

130. Nothing materialised and MJC reminded the Claimant of his undertaking to provide
a statement and asked again if he would attend court as a witness. The Claimant said
that this was “not possible” as he had to “stay at home to look after the dog ”. MJC
114
responded that this “was total bollocks” and offered to prepare the first draft of a
statement. The Claimant said this was unnecessary and that he would write it.

131. LPJS had already prepared a schedule (Attachment 3) of “OWED TO SIG” listing
£48,191.44 he had advanced to APMS to cover shortfalls in his maintenance payments

109 Standing for Cameron, Robyn and Sigve [Solheim’s children]
110 But proposed a name change to “SLS Aviation Ltd for Sigve and Louise Solheim. It was changed back to CRS after
July 2018!!
111 MJC was so fed up with the Claimant by this time that he said he would not even bother to check what had been
said at the Joint Settlement Meeting. He warned LPJS that the Claimant was a predator and a clever schemer
112 To a statement by MJC
113 Final settlement £460,000 before deducting interim payments and costs
114 In fact, he did not stay at home but travelled to Hampshire when he was not scheduled to work. A “dog sitter”
was retained.
