A TOLATA dispute between close family members. Allegations of deceit, fraud, affairs and misrepresentation. It was alleged the money given towards a property was always a gift, and not a loan.
Of course it was argued by the donor it was always to be a loan, and he would never have given that much money away as a gift. Within six hours, the mediation led the parties to a settlement.
The Defendant (D) was sued for £25,000 by the Claimant (C). The D had renovated his house, removing the chimney stack and interior walls to create an open floor design. According to C, this resulted in serious damage to his property, including damp, leaks, and cracks throughout. Three hours after the in-person mediation, a settlement was reached.

This was a TOLATA dispute relating to a property and endowment policy. The claimant issued proceedings against the defendant his former partner. A joint endowment worth £28,878.54 matured in December 2016. On top of his 50% share he claimed for an additional 50% share of a joint endowment valued at £14,377.70 to be assigned over to him. Which was taken out in 1990.
His justification was the endowment was taken out by both of them, whereby the defendant left him three weeks after it was taken out and signed for. The defendant gave no notice, did not leave a forwarding address for the claimant or the endowment provider.
The claimant made all the payments to include the defendants share in her absence for nineteen years. The endowment provider advised the claimant upon its maturity the defendant was trying to claim the original 50%, even though she had not contributed one penny towards it.
The mediation took place by way of telephone mediation, lasted, three hours and settled.
A 93 year old Sikh Claimant (C) sued his Defendant (D) daughter for £270,000. The C was worried about his step daughter’s intentions (from his third marriage) towards his finances. Therefore, he then told the D to deposit £500,000 into a brand-new bank account he asked her to open in her name to be held for him.
Subsequently D allowed C to move in with her at his request. During which time she undertook all domestic chores, medical appointments and so forth. C then told D to clear off any debts she had out of the money she deposited on his behalf.
At the time D’s husband had a gold mining business in Sierra Leon which was doing reasonably well, and he was always coming home with gold nuggets. C, impressed by this, wanted in, and said let me invest. D & her husband told C, there was a great amount of risk involved and no returns were guaranteed.
However, C insisted, and advised them to take money out of his funds to assist with any business expenses. For some time business was good, until it was not. Given the volatile situation of the country alongside the threat of war, it became increasingly difficult to enter and leave the country, never mind mine.
When this was communicated to C, and no more gold was being received he turned on D & her husband. Stating money was missing out of his account, £270,000. D & her husband protested, stating C told them to spend this money, as he had now moved in with them. They were taking care of him. He told them to clear their debts, and spend what was required on relevant business expenses.
The mediation took place between the C, D, D’s husband and son. The mediation took seven hours, was in person, and settled.
An elderly, disabled Indian father transferred a property in Luton to two of his sons. It was then alleged by five of the other siblings, that their older brothers had stolen, taken by force this property.
There were several allegations of misappropriation of money, gold, land in India, amongst this particular property.
According to the two sons, their father had been on bad terms with the other five siblings and due to the fact that they were the only ones who took care of him, he decided to reward them with this particular property.
For some unknown reason, their father switched teams, and started to favour his children, the siblings, who did not take care of him. Soon after he moved in with one of those children. Murmurs started to brew around this property. How and why, it was transferred, and under what circumstances.
Eventually a TOLATA claim for £300,000 was brought. The mediation was conducted partly in English and Punjabi, as the father understood very little English. The mediation took most of the day, and a settlement was achieved.
The claimant, lent her late son and daughter in law at the time, £70,000 towards the deposit on a property. The relationship broke down due to the allegations that the defendant was having an affair. This was denied, but conveniently she then went on to marry this so-called friend, she was caught in bed with.
To make matters worse, the claimants son took his own life. After which the claimant sought to recover the money, she had lent both of them. This was an emotional and difficult mediation. Neither of the parties met, the only joint meetings were conducted between the parties’ solicitors. After eight hours a solution was achieved.
Two friends decided to purchase a property and split, share the profit equally. Due to cash flow problems the Claimant (C) advanced £22,000 to the Defendant (D). Who was going through a divorce, he was also a self-employed builder, and business was slow.
A dispute arose, as the D would not return the C’s £11,000, even though he paid half of the monthly mortgage payments.
The mediation took place in person, was conducted in English, Punjabi and Urdu, within four hours the parties settled.
It was alleged that the Claimant (C) was duped into contributing £39,000 (the entirety of her savings) towards a house purchase by the Defendant (D).
The D only contributed £7,000; he subsequently had an affair. Which led to a breakdown in the relationship. Ill advised by the D’s friend, the C had been advised and pressured by the D not to sign for the property as tenants in common.
The C had contributed much more towards the property, and of course wanted her fair share, which the D refused to do. Advising they should sell the property and split the proceeds equally. The mediation took place in person, lasted five hours and settled.
