which itemise identical damage. The optional extras recommended are identical also. Mr
Trevor Allaway from the Insurance company confirmed that he never received the invoices /
estimates from Mr Patel and he checked with Nikki Diamond whether she had seen the
invoices and she stated that they had not been provided to the insurance company. Indeed,
from the insurance file there is an email from Simone Sail man requesting repair quotations
from Deven Patel
(dated 24th April 2013)
but the invoices provided by Mr Patel to the police are clearly dated
01st March 2013
And
29th March 2013
Our query is why were these not
859,
provided to the insurance company?
We request the date that these invoices were provided to the police. The estimate itemising
the damage dated
05th September 2013
appears to correspond to damage itemised in a telephone call to the insurance broker by
Nicola Diamond on
02nd April 2013
at 15:04:00 with additions. The estimate for this damage is £39420.00. Mr Patel in his
statement dated
08th May 2013
estimates the damage as being between £8,000 £ 10,000. Yet the invoice dated
05th September 2013
substantially increases the estimate by some £30,000. The invoices dated in March only refer
top rebricking one wall at a cost of £600 yet Nicola Diamond refers to at least three entry
points. The statement of Mr Rakesh Patel dated
10th March 2014
gives us cause for concern as he has produced two invoices that never appear to have been
provided to his insurance company. He also makes reference to his manager reporting the
burglary but not been given a crime reference. We request that a statement be taken from this
Manager and in particular that the Manager confirms the damage that was caused and the
value of the stock stolen and how this amount was reconciled to stock in the warehouse. We
are also concerned as police attended on the night of the raves in
May 2013
and the damage to the wall would have been apparent to the police. In addition, we find it
bizarre that there were no additional police patrols in the area on the night of a rave. Our
client is adamant that police officers attended on the night in question and were powerless to
stop the rave / private party from taking place because there were people squatting inside the
premises and notices on the walls clearly stating that the premises were being used as legal
squats. The police officers who attended on the night of the rave / private party can confirm
that there was damage already in existence and also that the premises were a legal squat. This
would contradict the statement of Inspector Mc Millan dated
31st March 2014
who stated that there were no obvious notices / signs indicating squatters’ rights?
We therefore request that the officer in the case make enquiries in relation to the Bianca Road
address as referred to in the section 80 notices. We request that this case be listed for mention
