PART 6:FINAL HEARING
has done since he left Nutley Place in early July 2018 - that the £500,000 was a loan LPJS’s
maintenance and school fees orders would not have been reduced in the way they were.

138. Thus, the Claimant’s duplicity, designed to hide his own dishonesty, cost LPJS an
estimated £765,000 in lost lifetime maintenance from APMS

5.34 THE COURT ORDER: 21 MAY 2018
ST
139. Although not specifically narrated, the Court Order is based on the £500,000 being a
gift to LPJS’s with no obligation for repayment .

5.35 DEVELOPMENTS EVENTS AFTER JUNE 2018
140. The Claimant appeared both angry and disappointed because, as he said, the Court
had let APMS off the hook, leaving “him to pick up the pieces”. He assured LPJS that
124
their relationship was solid, long term and that he was devoted, “for life” to her and her
children.

141. On 22 and 23 May 2018, MJC emailed and met LPJS and the Claimant and tried to
nd

console them. The Claimant said the Judge must have been an “asshole” to make the
ruling he had. MJC did not believe it would be constructive to remind the Claimant that
his refusal to give evidence had been a critical factor but pointed out that the Court had
concluded that the £500,000 had been a gift and LPJS’s asset. The Claimant looked very
shamefaced but said that “I will be there behind Lou and the kids all the way.”

142. In the following days and weeks:

 APMS resigned from his temporary low-paid job and admitted to the new
125
venture [which had previously denied] which he is now boasting is worth tens of
millions of pounds;

 APMS set his new salary at around £8,000 a year but is drawing substantial income
describing it as loans and dividends with the intention that it would be ignored in
any further review of his maintenance obligations

 In early July 2018 the Claimant announced that his relationship with LPJS was over
and that he would be moving on .
126

 A few days later, the Claimant called into Nutley Place and suggested to LPJS that
he would help her out by cutting the lawns and preparing the house for sale. He
said he “had thought about it” and would be prepared to lend her £50,000 to pay
the school fees but only on condition that she “would start signing some
agreements ”. He did not say what these might be and was politely asked to leave.
