whaddya think of this, this is from alexis grower who says:

"I must stress that you are not, nor have ever been, a client of mine or of this firm"

"
I must again stress you were not a client of this firm"

he seems rattled for some reason....

i believe i just found the killer blow in this pile of documents i have which is every piece of communication that ever happened with the orb pretty much, its in grower_paterson_weston_clients.pdf where it specifically says 'my clients' with name in big letters at the top. its not a client care letter (not sure if you had to do those in 94) but surely this is proof he is acting for me

its after he was acting for modo tho, he swapped and changed a lot. whats the situation regarding COI laws with swapping between conflicting clients?
is there a time limit or something ?
this is after he was acting for modo records, he immediately swapped round and started acting for paterson and myself *against modo records
terrible man, he built it all up then crushed it all down again
he was also very good friends with another party involved (big life records jazz summers - now deceased as of last week)
i have reason to believe he and jazz consulted regularly and wanted to bring down modo to control the orb by themselves.
there happens to be a conflict between myself and paterson here as well, because paterson lied to me all the way about all sorts of things i discovered last week when i got these 14 boxes of documents.

cheers!

my initial mails read:


hi guys, im just trying to trace this money of mine that went missing at some point.
it seems i have documented proof of some it going into alexis growers account - 137k to be precise
it was part of 250k that i owned 50% of you see, and it seems not long after this point, it was never seen again.
so i have a few questions for alexis which i would appreciate being answered immediately.

1) why is it going in there and what happened to it after that please?

2) how did you reconcile acting for my record company (being a director), my musical partner and myself on that island deal (and all the other stuff) alexis? is it because you are a consultant?

3) why arent you a solicitor ?

if you can dig out bank statements etc that would be handy

thanks

kris weston


1) the wau recordings limited / modo settlement agreement

some of my old recordings have been exploited recently without my permission, and i need this. could you also reveal if you have any documentation of when you acted for me and all my various partners and companies at the same time.


cheers

oh sorry forgot one thing, i dont know whether you have any memory of the money that was paid to orb music (300k) and then somehow ended up in your account - someone (and some people are naming alexis grower) gave the advice that the chrysalis deal i signed was not my money, i need to find that person.

think i got the right email, but if you have any documented proof on what you were telling my ex-associates about my chrysalis deal that would be great.

Dear Kris Weston,

 

I am writing in response to your 3 emails of the 26th of August 2015.

 

First of all let me assure you that I am a solicitor and have a practising certificates continuously since 1971 when I qualified.

 

Secondly, I must stress that you are not, nor have ever been, a client of mine or of this firm. Alex Patterson was a client and because of client confidentiality, to which I am bound as a solicitor, any information about Alex Patterson’s affairs are confidential and cannot be revealed to you.

 

I have never previously been aware you were entitled to 50% of any monies that you refer to, and since you are referring to events that took place more than 20 years ago I am not able to confirm the figures that you quote. I need to stress , however, that all monies deposited into our client account are always distributed in strict accordance with the instructions of our clients.

 

I do not understand your question as to reconciling acting for my record company your musical partner and yourself in the Island Agreement.  I have also never been a director of your record company and I do not follow the relevance of suggesting ‘is it because you are a consultant’.

I do not have any document regarding Wau Recordings Limited/Modo settlement agreement and if I did they would be confidential to Alex Patterson.

I am not aware of your old recordings being exploited recently and I have no knowledge of anyone advising that monies payable from the Chrysalis agreement was not your monies and I do not know who such a person would be.

I am not talking to your ex-associates about any Chrysalis agreement and I do not understand why you are of the view that I am.

 

I do not really wish to continue with this correspondence any further.  I must again stress you were not a client of this firm.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

ALEXIS GROWER

dear mr grower,

im absolutely sure you dont want to continue this correspondence any further but i must ask that your company explain exactly where this money went, as i own the money and it was stolen from me. i can show that the money went from chrysalis to an account owned by orbmusic, which then was transferred to your account. what happened to it after that - i dont know. perhaps you can explain. i assume your company keeps records of their bank statements or perhaps your bank still has it. i will provide you with the relevant documentation of proof if you need.

1) its very strange you are not aware i didnt own 50% of the chrysalis contract money because you negotiated it for me! you were the sole legal representation for myself, alex, adam, yvonne, dave fagence and modo records in fact over quite a long period of time. dont you remember advising me on it? your signature is next to mine on the contract. would you like me to jog your memory ?

2) when i said 'is it because you are a consultant' i meant - is it perhaps because consultants arent bound by COI laws in the same way solicitors are. i dont know im not a solicitor but there must be a reason why you thought you could do it. perhaps it was just plain greed.

3) regarding your contention that you were never a director or received any special considerations from modo - please can you explain the attached document "wau_grower_03-01-91.pdf", im confused, it seems like you were involved on that document, i dont know a lot about law but i know its illegal to act for multiple parties with conflicting interests and its a very serious matter.

4) regarding your statement 'Secondly, I must stress that you are not, nor have ever been, a client of mine or of this firm.' can you explain "grower_to_act_in_boardman_dispute-19-04-94.pdf" ? excuse the bad quality, its very old, but just because its old doesnt make what you did right. do you deny sending that letter ?

5) 'I have no knowledge of anyone advising that monies payable from the Chrysalis agreement was not your monies and I do not know who such a person would be' - well i have it in writing from one of your clients at the time - my accountant. i assumed she received the advice from you. would you like me to jog your memory ?

6) i have contacted the law society to find out if you are telling the truth about being a solicitor, because ive been told personally that you have been struck off at some point. perhaps this information is wrong but considering your dishonesty on points 3) and 4) i think ill go check for myself. i see you are still on the 'taking cash from refugees' thing that sunk Seifert Sedley Williams. ive heard you were very lucky not to get into very serious trouble for that.
