Mckay uses Canadian media to harass Julie Smerchanski

[Tim Invictus]

It appears that our Simon isn't as wonderful as some are portraying him to be.  We have just been advised of some secret goings on behind closed doors the result of which was that he was severely criticised by the Law Society AGAIN. 

Our informer will be providing details for us on Monday and this person is very well informed.

We look forward to it!  8-)(--)

This is insolvent McKay's judgement in the 2008 case John:

The Tribunal Order that the Respondent Simon Arthur Samuel McKay of 41 St Paul's Street, Leeds, LS1 2JC solicitor, be Reprimanded and it further Orders that he be jointly and severally liable with the Second Respondent to pay the costs of and incidental to this application and enquiry fixed in the sum of £5,000.00

Is this the one you're referring to or is there another judgement against McKay still to be exposed?

 

[John]

It certainly looks like Simon McKay has had quite a few fingers in quite a few pies over the last few years.  I haven't read the judgement in its entirety but it does state that as of April 2010, the Claimant, Simon McKay, was insolvent and  was clearly unable to obtain finance from mainstream UK lenders.   That to me coming after the earlier fiasco is very worrying.

Do you think this should have its own thread?

[Tim Invictus]

Yeah lets put this on its own thread ... McKay tried to damage Julie in Canada  by talking to the press there. He sowed the wind ... let him reep the whirlwind!

I have had a chat with Nick Martin, Senior Staff Reporter at the Winnipeg Free Press just to ensure that he was aware of the situation.   

He did say that the 'wire service' mentioned that Jeremy Bamber's appeal had been denied.  I pointed out that it wasn't an appeal, it was a decision whether to refer the case to the Appellate Court.

He told me that he would be doing a follow-up sometime in the future but wouldn't say when!  No rush then!!

Can any one shed any light on something that I don't want to ask on the other forum because I am on thin ice there and I don't want to be removed.

Simon Mckay.....his law firm is having money problems? Serious £££ flow problems. Am I right?

He seems to have a history of bad financial stewardship if that is what you mean.  He would also have appeared to have two IVA's against him according to the records and was referred to as insolvent by a judge who ruled against him in a quite substantial civil suit involving a lot of money.

You will find this discussed here Mat.

Thanks for the reply, John. Explains why he's working with Bamber. I believe he sees ££. It was always a strange fit for me when I heard that Simon was becoming Bamber's solicitor.

It has been said by our members that would he not be better doing paid work and attempting to clear his debts rather than doing pro bono work on cases which are doomed to failure.

When you get a moment Mat, please introduce yourself in the new members section at the top of the home page.

No, he wouldn't. He has a firm that are taking in cases still and being paid for it...he's after the cash cow.
Okay, I will do. Sorry.

We sort of worked that out.  Bamber would be worth a lot of big bucks to a few people if he were ever cleared.  I asked a few of the hanger-on writers this question and guess what...they haven't replied.

He probably saw the case as an opportunity to improve his credit rating but has only managed to damage his credibility.  It is the ibility bit that makes the difference.
