12th December 2005Dear Sirs,
Re-Our Family’s Lifetime Personal Possessions & Private Property, Seized by Way of Cardiff County Court Order, Claim No.CF304564
Obtained By Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited, Former Subsidiary of Crest Plc
Presently Trading as Quay Marinas Limited
With reference to the above, and the documented records, we kindly wish to inform you that we, the Shalom Family, have recently received ultimatum from Wales & Midlands Group High Court Enforcement Officers.
It is received as sent from Mr. Philip Courtenay Evans, Mr. Martin Leyshon, and Mr. Michael Robert Anderson, of Glamorgan and Powys Partnership, 22, St; Andrews Crescent, Cardiff, and it informs that unless we make provisions to collect our possessions by a set date, then all of our possessions will be “disposed of”. This has occurred in connection with the Court Order, a ‘Writ of Fieri Facias’, obtained in March 2004 by Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited of Avon House, Stoke Gifford, Bristol. This was the name of your company, prior to its separation from Crest Plc.
We kindly draw to your attention that prior to this communication the matter was resting with Mr. Philip Evans of L.G.Williams & Prichard, Solicitors, of the same address at 22, St; Andrews Crescent, Cardiff. We were given to understand that this firm were acting on behalf of The High Court Sheriff Enforcement Officers, and further to our letter of 13th June 2005, we have been waiting for the return contact as promised via his office.For the benefit of doubt, any ‘possessions’ in question are our Family’s personal private properties and belongings, which were seized directly as a result of earlier Court proceedings, instigated by Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited. This was a wholly owned subsidiary company of Crest Plc, based in Thames Street, Weybridge Surrey, to which you are entirely familiar, as it is established, that you are registered as the consecutive owners/directors and operators of that same marina company, and are now operating under the name of Quay Marinas Limited.
Accordingly, we believe that all business operations such as profits and loss accounts, and any legal actions in hand, and/or court proceedings, will have transferred in total, to your new operating company of Quay Marinas Limited. This means gentlemen that you are effectively responsible for both the ‘old business’ of Crest Nicholson Marinas Limited and the ‘new business’, of Quay Marinas Limited.
For the benefit of doubt, we reiterate our previous position in this matter. We would like all of our personal private property and personal private possessions, as seized in connection with the above matter, returned to us.
We need to know where they are in order for us to be able to make any “arrangements” to collect them. Without knowing where our personal belongings have been set, we are unable to make any “arrangements” to collect them. We do not know where they are.
PLEASE do not dispose of our personal private property or possessions in any way whatsoever, as they are all that we and our 5 daughters have left to show for a beautiful way of life of 14 years.
For the benefit of doubt, the High Court Sheriff has already informed us that it is your wish (“the claimant”) for us to receive all of our personal private possessions with the only exception being, that you do not want us to have back our Houseboat Home, M V Picton. Most regrettably, for reasons we shall detail, it has transpired, that to date, your acknowledged wishes, have yet to be fulfilled.
As documented to the record with the Rt Hon. Tony Blair Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Alun Michael MP, the Rt. Hon. Rhodri Morgan, Ms. Lorraine Barrett AM, and other Parliamentary Offices, we must inform you that Officers of the High Court Sheriff have apparently misappropriated, and/or, permitted to be misappropriated, our personal belongings, and/or, personal private possessions.
In plain English, some of our valuable possessions are missing or remain unaccounted for by the High Court Sheriff, and therefore, not presently “available”, as you have requested, for us to be able to receive. We have yet to receive any satisfactory explanation as to why the Office of the High Court Sheriff has not seen fit to fulfill your wishes.
In view of this torment for ourselves and our children and mindful of the chain of individuals involved in such matters, namely The Court, the High Court Sheriff, and the High Court Sheriff’s Solicitors, we kindly implore you to immediately take whatever steps necessary to halt the execution of this latest threat.
We feel sure that you would agree that these are most extraordinary events in which apparently, your wishes have not been complied with. As ‘claimant’ in these proceedings, we kindly ask that you PLEASE immediately apply to the Court to have the order and ‘Writ of Fieri Facias’, suspended, or cancelled. For the benefit of doubt, we also ask Quay Marinas Limited, Please Stop the Court Order to dispose of our Family's possessions.
We ask you to make this application upon reflection of your company’s documented change of heart and as a measure of your clear goodwill and humanitarian disposition. You will recall that having originally fought for and gained a Court Order to dispose of our Family’s belongings, a subsequent change of mind on your part has been evident, for which we are grateful. We believe it would be ridiculous, rough-justice, for your apparent mercy to be ignored in this situation and we believe that you would want to make sure that your wishes are recognized and upheld.
Please note that we will pay your full Court Courts to apply for this particular application.
We also implore you to urgently convene a meeting with us, and perhaps the High Court Sheriff, (who, it is acknowledged has made video of our possessions seized, at the time of seizure) to seek a more common sense, humanitarian approach in the circumstances. We would hope to achieve some mutually acceptable position before Christmas, if only to be able to give our children some hope of them having their personal things returned to them.
Please discover with us and for your good selves, the ‘naked truth’ of what has actually happened to our personal private property and possessions, against your wishes, and please help us ascertain what, if any, of our possessions, we can make arrangements for - with the High Court Sheriff, to collect.
May we kindly remind you that among our personal belongings seized with our Home, are also life long treasures, some of very significant sentimental value, including but not limited to:
A lock of hair (and treasured memoria) from our only son Joshua Benedict who died aboard the Picton.
Our Family’s Holy Bible.
Our Children’s School History Files and their Personal Achievements, Awards and Certificates of Merit.
Personal gifts of both financial and sentimental worth from immediate Family, now deceased.
Photographs and many albums of our Family-Life aboard our Houseboat Home, Picton.
Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates.
Life Insurance Documents.Passports, Keys, Wallets.
Our Children’s Pocket Money Piggy Bank.
Finally, should you have any other proposal, comments, concerns or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Although we are naturally exhausted we are desperate to secure our possessions but we need your help. Ultimately, you have our beautiful Family history in your hands.
We would be very grateful to hear from you.
With kind regards,
Marie Louise & Vince Shalom
With our Daughters,
Hannah Louise 14, Naomi Catherine 12, Rachel Mary 8, Rebekah May 7 and Jessica Ellen 5.
N.B. Please note that previous information was addressed to contact details as documented to the record and those provided by the UK Companies House, Company Registration Services. Today, 12th December 2005, we have contacted your office directly by telephone. We have been provided with confirmation of your new contact details, to which we make this fresh appeal. For the benefit of doubt, a copy of our previously sent appeal, to your old address, can be seen below.
