Dear Mr Allaway
I refer to my previous emails. I am attaching copies of two invoices received from the CPS in relation
to the case against our client. You kindly provided me with a copy of your insurance file pursuant to
a section 35 application and in that disclosure there were no invoices dated 1st March 2013 or 29th
March 2013.
Can you please confirm by return email whether you were provided with a copy of the invoices in
2013 and if so on what date. Please also confirm whether you were provided with alternative
quotations from any other companies in relation to the damage in February 2013 and March 2013. If
you were not then please confirm this also.
If no invoices were provided last year can you please confirm whether you know of any connection
between your client and the Building Company Patel Construction. The invoices refer to optional
extras amounting to £4500 plus VAT but no invoice has been provided to confirm that this work was
ever carried out which begs the question as to whether the premises were ever actually secured and
whether the damage was ever remedied as claimed. We are very concerned as to how did the damage
jumped from £600 with an optional extra to £4,500 plus VAT and finally to a claim in the region of
£40,000 from an estimate sent to the insurance company in September 2013.
Mr Rakesh Patel in his statement dated 10th March 2014 (telephone statement) refers to his Manager
reporting the second break in to police but not having a crime reference number. We will be asking
for a statement from the manager to be obtained via the police as this would undoubtedly list the
damage caused etc
We would be grateful if the above could be confirmed. Our client is facing a charge of burglary based
on damage caused. The case is listed in the warned list for trial in June 2014.
We thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
Yours sincerely
Josephine Ward
