Michele Hillgarth’s Witness Statement/Preliminary Notice etc
1st November 2016
Please find attached my further comments as promised to your Preliminary Notice and to Michele Hillgarth’s Witness Statement with supporting documents as usual.
I think we can agree that, leaving aside the admitted out of time demands to see original invoices (not copies) of the 2014 Works invoices totalling £105,877, we are left with the following accusations which also includes fraud and blackmail and various other miscellaneous misdemeanors. All obviously denied to date in correspondence.
1_Mrs Hillgarth along with some other lessees (including myself and my co-directors) were not aware of any addi- tional works requested/required/expected, such as Emergency Lighting, new light fitments, new electrics, auto sen- sors etc, a lift refurb etc etc.
2_Mrs Hillgarth refuses to accept our insistence that following her own sourced quotes from Hemi & Wade which outlined in detail these additional works, and which were approved at the meeting she called on 13 June 2012 by an alleged majority of lessees, we considered these additional workings to be requested/required/expected.
3_Despite correspondence indicating how these additional works were to be financed as they were not included in the final Schedule of Works, of which Mrs Hillgarth received multiple copies including that which she gave to her own preferred contractor, Wade, and consequently the costs of which were not included within the 22 June 2014 agreed s.20 Notice outlining all tender costs including the AR Lawrence budget of £105,019, Mrs Hillgarth main- tains that no monies for any works not in the Schedule of Works should have been paid to a third party.
4_By definition, that would indicate that either Mrs Hillgarth thought that the tenders, including AR Lawrence’s £105,019 budget, included these additional works or that she did not wish AR Lawrence (or any other tender including her Wade’s £219,000 ) to do any works not specified and included in the agreed Schedule of Works.
5_Mrs Hillgarth considers MHML to have committed fraud by making savings from the £105,019 budget to fund the additional works (as she alleges, by not informing lessees - but we did as correspondence (3) above indicates) and that the costs and expenses totalling £31,756.21 should have been indicated on our 2014 Accounts, along with our Surveyor’s Fees as opposed to stating the final overall cost under Reserves Utilised. “Notes” to the Accounts made very clear the “additional contribution” to Reserves of £2000 per lessee, another “special additional contribution” to Reserves of £1,428.67 per Lessee and Reserves Utilised of £105,877
