Chapter 3: A HANNON'S Support for a Freezing Order

Hannon provides false and misleading information in support of an application to freeze a former Company Director's assets!

Hannon lied to me and the Treasury Solicitors by denying ever being consulted!

A one and a half page e mail is evidence that he lied and this and the correspondence from the Treasury solicitors confirming Hannon's lies will be posted on Monday!


Background

In July 2006, one of the Joint Liquidators from Citroen Wells applied for a Freezing Order to freeze all of the assets of one of the former Directors of the Company.

Freezing orders are right at the edge of a Judge’s jurisdiction and their purpose is surely to freeze the assets of money launderers and drug barons, not the innocent!

You would think that such an Order, obtained in closed court were there is no opportunity to defend yourself, would only be granted on the basis of factual and correct information. Not so.

In support of the freezing order, Hannon provided false and misleading financial information following a direct request from the Joint Liquidators for evidence in support of their application for the freezing order being sought against a former Company Director.

Hannon lies about being consulted
Yet, when I asked Hannon’s boss, N Latif, if he and Hannon knew anything about the freezing order I was informed that neither he or Hannon knew anything about it prior to my call, and that neither of them had supplied any information to the Joint Liquidators.

Further to this, and on asking the Treasury Solicitors if Hannon had supplied any information in support of the Freezing Order, they stated that they would consult with their client (Hannon). There then followed a letter stating that after consulting with their client, Hannon had confirmed that he had not been consulted.

However, upon receipt of this letter and after forwarding it to the solicitors acting for the Joint Liquidator, they wrote back attaching two e mails. One from the Joint Liquidator to Hannon (dated 27 July 2006) requesting information on the company finances in support of their application for the Freezing Order, and a one and a half page e mail from Hannon (dated 27 July 2006) in response to this request.

Hannon’s e mail in response, contained entirely false and misleading financial information that was used in the High Court:

- Hannon alleged that there were £350,000 of unexplained cash withdrawals with full knowledge of the fact that much of this was staff wages and other sums that were clearly accounted.

- Even after being informed at a meeting at the offices of the Insolvency Service in front of N Letif and two other staff members that he had double accounted a payment going out of the Company account of £50,000. Hannon with the knowledge of his boss and D Flynn at 21 Bloomsbury Street did not remove this sum from his figures.

- Hannon alleged that the Company owed their Bankers £600,000. He stated in his email that he had a letter confirming this and that he would forward that letter to the Joint Liquidators. The letter was never forwarded, nor has the letter been found in the files that were Hannon's possession. There is nothing to substantiate the extent of the sum he alleges was owed to the Company bankers.


Hannon lied about not being consulted. Hannon lied to the Treasury Solicitors saying that he had not been consulted. Hannon’s lies were used in the High Court.

D Flynn, the Treasury Solicitors and Hannon’s boss, N Latiff were all shown the evidence that Hannon had lied, yet no one has done anything about it.

A week after the freezing order was granted it was removed at the return hearing on the basis of the information provided being unsubstantiated.


Yet again Hannon has got away with lying to the detriment of the innocent, yet there is nothing anyone can do about it and his bosses, in their failure to act, do nothing but protect their own.
