URGENT
For Marina before RTM of 27 July 2020
th
Addendum to File Note for RTM in a rush
No permission to pay anything into the main mortgage account or gain an interest in
Nutley Place = at the very best as a loan to be drawn down for joint living expenses.
But Mr Solheim had arranged it, so that it could not be touched.
Money could not be touched by anyone until the mortgage is redeemed
Is this why DH claimed it was not a loan but a TOLATA investment?
Obscured audit trail: concealing his identity for the transfer
4. INTENTION: GIFT OR LOAN
Source of funds is critical to Mr Solheim’s intention: which was an unconditional
transfer to LPJS to get the £500k off his books in the event Diamond Insurance
checked all of his claims, as they threatened to do (and under surveillance?)
Not privileged
Refusal to associate himself with the £500k (Not giving evidence at Final Hearing,
which except for the fraud would have been in his overwhelming interest to stop
APMS grabbing it)
False schedule of earnings and assets to conceal the AIG compensation
Dramatic change after Diamond settled: became a loan and then a TOLATA
5. ALLEGED BLACKMAIL
See LPJS letter to Dawson Hart dated 14 April 2020 (MF Bundle Bates 258) which gives Mr
th
Solheim an easy option to obtain his own evidence that the source of his funds was honest
and gifts to Louise (especially the £500k) would not be seized under the proceeds of crime
legislation. The fact that he will not do this, says it all: it is a “no brainer”
LPJS and MJC have gone to great lengths to alert Mr Solheim that the source of his funding is
a key issue that will be challenged. It was never a threat, but possibly a road to mutual
demolition that should be avoided. Mr Solheim seems to believe he can bully his way
through. He thought the same way with Diamond Insurance until it came to giving evidence
MJC believes it most likely that all of Mr Solheim’s funding is tainted by “fundamental
dishonesty” and fraud and could be liable to POC seizure. Therefore, all of the insurers
involved, Kingsley Napley, Richard Furniss and James Arney of Counsel should be consulted
before any settlement can be agreed.
MJC accepts, however, that it is none of his business and has recommended throughout that
LPJS should be guided by her legal advisers.
The low-key checks that MJC has made indicate that (a) there is no obligation to make any
report to insurers or law enforcement and (b) that AIG and Diamond have no current interest
in Mr Solheim’s claims. To some extent, the checks have cleared the decks.
