RE: Mohammed Kamal Ahmed Narrative page -"1'---_ of 4
My full a nd true name is Mohammed Kamal Ahmed arid my date of birth is 28/1 2/1975. and I
currently reside at 1.97 Plashet Grove, London, E6 1 DX. I am currently employed as a consultant.
I have not been known by any other name.
I was made bankrupt by Elias Hussain fo r the sum £391 ,629.39, a debt that I dispute.
In. 2007, Elias Hussain, who was a dose family friend, came to me with a proposition to buy the
property 2 Keppel Road (that comprised at the time as 2 and 2A Keppel Road; 2 Keppel Road
was arranged . as Flat 1 and Flat 2 and 2A Keppel Road as, commercial Unit at the front and a
warehouse at the rear) with the purpose of developing it, seUing it and splitting the profit. However,
on the day of completion oElias told me that he didn't have his 5 0% share of the purchase costs
and I ended up paying f r the wh.ole property by borrowing Elias' share from my brother Dabir
Ahmed. (Ultimately, I also paid for all except £2,985 of the legal costs because Elias did not have
the funds at the time of completion}. I borrowed a total of £425k for the property, but I stuck to the
deal with Elias and the property was ·registered under both our names. The development ended
up creating a total of 5 flats and a commercial unit.
The property was re:-mortgag·e d in 2008 with Bank of Scotland for the sum of £385, 000 and, as
the property was in joint nanies, the solicitor split the borrowed funds between myself and Elias
Hussain arid we both received £1 25k. The deal was he would repay me the £125k that he had
received but he only paid me £25k in the end and gave various reasons why he couldn't pay the
rest. He never did repay the other £100k.
In 2009, I �iscovered that the family business owed £85k to a builder's merchants. Elias had been
employed by the family business and I confronted him about it. He stated that he had obtained
materials frorri the Builder's M.erchant� on our business account to develop his own house, 240
Monega Road, London, E12 6TS. He had also run up significant debt with other local suppliers
such as CSS DIY; London Plumbing and others: trading on our good family name. I confronted
him again when I discovered a paymentfrom the company account of £13k to Elias' wife and that
he had not deposited my tenant's deposit monies into the deposit scheme. He had not returned
these fun ds to my tenants when they left the respective tenancies and I estimate (and have
evide.nce of) that he had kept £53k of tenant's money. I later came to know he had purchased
. 222 Nightingale Road, London, N9 BPS with the money stolen from tenant's deposits.
I spoke to him and advised that he had put us in an untenable position. Elias initially disc;1ppeared
for a bit and later I learnt he went to Morocco without informing me. When he returned some 3-4
weeks later I managed to organise a meeting and during the meeting Elias became very agitated
and angry, he threw the table across the room and left the meeting. Later, in Jan 2 0 1 0 , we had
another meeting in the presence of other family elders, together with few friends we both knew.
We agreed that I would pay him £ 1 30 , 000 for liis entire beneficial st,are of.both 2 and 2A Keppel
Road. It was agreed Elias would hand over his beneficial interest via his solicitors in return for
£1 30, 000 and he would keep the £1 00 , 000 that he had received as a part of the re-mortgage with ·
Bank of Scotland. · 1t was agreed he would meet his solicitor arid provide him with the necessary
instructions for the property to be handed over to my brother and I. In the meantime, Elias called
me and said he had an emerger,cy come up, he need.ed to travel to Bangladesh for an emergency
and needed some urgent cash. He had told me his father '#.8S dying back in Bangladesh and he •
j ust wanted to see him for one last time. I just lost my own father at the time and I was mentally ·
very vulnerable. I felt sorry for him and paid • . £7,800 both in bank transfors and cash as part
of the £ 1 30 ,000 aQree ent. Elias then d" ppeared for few weeks and had r instructed the

RE: Mohammed Kamal Ahmed Narrative pa ge 2 of '4
solicitor, as agreed, to hand over the property upon his return from Bang!adesh. Looking back, I
do not believe the story about his father being unwell was at all true nor do I believe he had . .
travelled to Bangladesh, as _h e had claimed, to t�ke money from me. He used the money to pay
Michael Olasende of SJ Solicitors to instigate a Court proceeding against me.
Later, in 2010, using the money he had taken from me as part of the agreement as above, Elias
instructed Anthony Hemmings of S J Solicitors in llford, IG3 . 9SQ in order to claim a 50% share of
_.th¢ whole Keppel Road properties as· he was a registered joint owner. I disputed this as· he had
only ever invested j ust under £3k in the property development. The matter dragged on through
the courts and it came before J udge May QC (Her Hon) in 2014. A four-day hearing was booked
but I did not attend at first as I had been· told by my solicitors that the hearing was not going ahead
due to the other side not complying with various directions orders from earlier hearings by his
Honour Judge Hornby. However, on the morning ofthe_hearing J udge May phoned me and asked
why I wasn't in attendance. I got straight into a taxi and went to the court. I was given a court
bundle, which was the first time I had ever s�en a court bundle as I had no experience of this.
Judge May QC (Her Hon) noticed I was struggling and stopped the hearing and adjourned it for
one day to allow me to familiarise myself. I then arranged for a barrister to attend and have my
witness statement submitted, which included what had always been my case a� above, The other
side then made an application for my witness statement to be debarred and for me to be debarred
to take part in the proceedings. U nfortunately, this was successful, so I didn't get to explain my
side of things. The c;,utcome of the hearing was that he was given Flat 1 and further awarded 50%
share of 2AKeppel Road. It was ordered to be sold and the other party asked to be awarded the
conduct of s_ale. Instead, Elias held oh to the property and then claimed the rent on the flats and
the unit by creating fake leases between me and his brother to say that his brother had paid me
rent for the commercial unit, Flat 3, Flat 4 & Flat-5. Rent for commercial unit 1 was at a rate of
£ 1 8,000 per annum. In addition, he then claimed rent for an additional commercial unit, the Unit
2 at a rate of £7200 per annum. This unit did not even exist, but using my debarment as an
opportunity, Elias made �p the whole unit to inflate his rent claim against me. Rents for Flats 3, 4
& 5 were claimed at £1 000 per flat per month from January 201 0 until March 2016. Elias using
various bogus documents, had presented a rent claim for total sum of around £240,000.00
He aue·ged I had lease agreement with his brother and his broth e r had paid me rent of which he
was entitled to 50%. It went to court but, as I had been debarred from the proceedings and
couldn't give my side, he was awarded the rental claim of £1 1 9,000, plus interest of £13,000,
plus legal costs to be decided. This claim is· the basis of the petition debt, which ultimately
increased to £391 ,000.
In the meantime, I .g rew increasingly suspicious of his solicitor and their activities and endless lies
• that they presented b�fore Court at every opportunity. I complained to the Solicitors Regl!lation
Authority. I complained, amongst other things, that Anthony Hemmings (aka Michael Olasende)
had submitted fake leases with fake signatures to the. Land Registry. Later, he had attemptep to
rec�ify this lease with further amendments, but these were rejected by the Land Registry. We have
••
only di_scovered these activities that had had gone on behind the seen� only recently.
After months of persuasions, I met up with an SRA investigator. Based on my complaint the SRA
finally decided to investigate the firm, SJ Solicitors, and the people behind the firm. Th�y later
discov_ered thaf Anthony Hemmings di9 not exist, and his real name was actually Michael Adewale
Olaseinde who had become a solicitor in 1 997 but had been ° struck off when he stole around
£17m of his client's _funds. He had th set up the firm of SJ Solicitors in llford using Kuldip Singh
as a front and carrie n with his tivtties as usual under the banner ·of SJ Solie;· ors. Business

was as usual as before as far" as Mr Olaseinde was qoncerned. Anthony Hemmings was struck
off again due to this case along with the principal of SJ Solicitors Mr Kuldip Singh in March 20 1 9 .
SJ Solicitors were forced to close in June 2017 following an SRA intervention.
. .
Mark Jones, who is currently the barrister for Elias Hussain has been a barrister all throughout
the case and has attended every single hearing for him since October· 2012. He had worked in
the same firm as Michael Olaseinde in the past and where Olaseinde had been caught stealing
• but Mark Jones had evaded the net. I believe Mark Jon es had changed his__name and somehow
became a barrister and escaped/ evaded the SRA and other regulatory bodies ever since.
• I reported the activities of Mr Mark Jones to the Bar standards board without any success as
they dismissed my complaint as fanciful. I do believe Mr Mark Jones and Mr M·ichael Olaseinde
a re connected to each other and have been working together for years going back -as far back
as 1 995. I believe they have done this type of legalised robbery for many years and operated
initially in the Hertfordshire area until Olasende was caught and struck off by SRA
After the SRA findings were concluded in 2 01 9 I made an application in the High Court for the
whole •hing to be d ismissed due to fraud. There was a heari n g on 1 9 November 2020 which the
judge dismissed due to being out of time. I am looking at appealing in the Supreme Court. I
believe Elias has made me bankrupt to cut me out of these proceedings as Elias, Michael
Olasende and Mark Jones realise that if my appeal is successful then the alleged petition debt •
for which I have been made bankrupt will disappear and instead they would owe me money.
I have evidence to $how Elias' brother is impecunious (i.e. on benefits) therefore he could not
have paid me any rent as claimed by Elias in Court under oath before Judge, DJ Lightman on 29
March 2 01 6. In paragraph 31 .6 of his witness statement, dated 2 November 2 01 8 , Mr Elias
Hussain states "It is admitted that Enamul receives some state benefits in the form of Housing
benefit to augment his income and to assist in the provision of accommodation for himself and
his family". In this witness statement he also states in paragraph 72.2 "It is admltted that no rent
was paid by Enamul". Also, I have evidence from DWP that Elias and his wife Hafs� Khatl.in has
been claiming ho4sing benefit on 2.40 Monega Road, London, E12 6TS for a number of years and
since its inception.
Nigel Smith is the solicitor that contacted Mrs Brooker regarding these proceedings however I
don't believe he exists in the sense that he is the real solicitor that acting for Elias. I believe it the
M ichael Olaseinde is still pulling the strings from behind the scenes and uses Nigel Smith as a
front, just as he did before with SJ Solicitors Where he had used 'Kuldip Singh as a front. The
reason I say this us due to the· fact that, after SJ Solicitors were closed down, the file handlers
. working at SJ Solicitors had all moved to work for C_a rtwright ·c unningham Haselgrove & Co
(CCHC). Rozia Ali, a qualified solicitor who worked for SJ Solicitors, moved all the files including
the Elias file to CCHC. I believe Michael Olaseinde also moved under the banner of CCHC and · it
is MichaelOlaseinde still running the cases under the d isguise of Nigel Smith. . I request the OR
to call CCHC and to try to speak to Nigel Smith to establish the veracity of this statement and ask
him questions related to the background of this case. I n my experience of last few years I have
never managed to speak to him over the telephone. He has been an illusive man that never comes
on the phone and hides behind emails which I believe aren't written by Nigel Smith but rather by
Michael Olasende.
Michael Olasehde, Mark Jones, Kuldip Singh and Nigel Smith, Rozia Ali are part of an organised
white-collar gang that gets people wit sets and, using the law to their advan age; they slowly

strip the victims of all their assets. By the time a victim realises what has just happened and works
· out their game plan, it is often too late as the Court and the systems simply dismisses victim's
complaints as out of time and with the excuse of finality. This gang have worked . out the system
and they are making full use of the system to rob hundre ds of people of their assets and life's last
possessions. •
Dabir's name was added as a counter claimant during the rent claim proceedings because he
• had a beneficial interest in Keppel Road as he had funded 50% of the purchase. The claim was
brought against myself, St Martin'.s Properties UK Ltd, Dabir and London Sorough of Newham
(merely for disclosure purposes). When the other side obtained the £ 1 1 9k rent claim judgement,
they made a Money Claim application to enforce it, but dropped St Martin's Properties UK Ltd,
which just left myself and Oabir. Dabir started his own claim against these proceedings and made
an application to set the judgement aside as he had nothing to do with the rent claim. The County
Court rejected it, so it went to appeal at the High Court. However, the judge said Dabir shouldn't
have started the defence in the first place as he wasn't liable, and had wasted the court's time .
. The judge then awarded £56k of costs against him. The £391 k petition debt includes this £56k
which is owed by Dabir and not me. Therefore, I am only liable for £335k.
. .
Dabir transferred his interest in two of our properties, 307 Katherine Road and 1 1 2 Strone
Road, to the other's party's solicitors and they were sold 2 weeks prior to the bankruptcy
hearing. These sales yielded enough proceeds to d ischarge my debt of £335k, therefore I do
not owe any monies, and in fact I am due around 5k back. •
I am now i n the process of taking advice to have the bankruptcy order annulled qn the basis that
the debt was not ciwed and the order should ought not have been made. I liave instructed a
solicitor and will be making the application as soon as possible.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read over this statement, which is true to the best ·of my
knowledge, recollection and belief.

20 The Official Receiver has been provided with a copy of a sealed order, in relation to
the properties in paragraph 1 7, dated 20 February 2020, given by the Honourable
Mr Justice Waksman. The judgement states:
If there was anything in this argument, it is inconceivable that it would not have
been raised from 1 November 201 7 onwards when the 1st order for the sale of
Katherine Road was made pursuant to the obtaining of final charging orders in
respect of monies owed to the Claimant. Further orders were made in 20 1 8 and
2019, and yet, again, it was never suggested that there should be a carve-out for
{Dabir Nozrul Islam Ahmed's] beneficial interest. [Mohammed Kamal Ahmed]
informed the court that [Oabir Nozrul Islam Ahmed] took the same position as him
and on one occasion Counsel appeared at least for [Mohammed Kamal Ahmed]
and possibly [Oabir Nozrul Islam Ahmed] also. Indeed, neither was this argument
raised in the 1st paper application which I dealt with yesterday. In those
circumstances, there is no basis for now granting a "without notice" order the effect
of which is to stop the sale of the properties at an auction, more than 2 years after
the 1st allegedly erroneous order for sale was made". [MK3lpg.9-1 OJ
33
[MK7/pg.1 8-19] and requested that he pay this income over into Official
Receiver's bank account. As at the date of this report, no monies have
been received.
b. Insurance policies - a life insurance policy with Royal London and a life
insurance policy with Canada Life have been declared. O n 22 September
2021 Canada Life advised that the policy is no longer in force. As at the
date of this report, it is not known if the Royal London policy has any
surrender value.
d. Shares - The Official Receiver is aware that has shares that were valued
at £973.86 on 1 0 July 2021 . These shares have not yet been realised for
the benefit of the bankruptcy estate.
Liabilities
23 The following are the liabilities known or notified to the Official Receiver:
24 The total value of the stated and claimed u nsecured debts amounts to £2,775,647,
of which the proofs of debts have been received from the petitioning creditor, Pro 2
Medical (UK) London Ltd and HMRC.
25 The Official Receiver is satisfied that Mr Mohammed Kamal Ahmed has complied
with his d uty to attend upon the Official Receiver and provide information on his
assets and liabilities. However, he has not paid over any income from the rental
properties to date.
34
26 After the submission of the report for the 1 7 September 2021 annulment hearing,
which was copied to Mr Mohammed Kamal Ahmed on 25 August 202 1 , Mr Ahmed
contacted the Official Receiver by email to state that the report was " Factually
inaccurate . . . biased. . .painting (sic) a inaccurate Picture of the circumstances
favoring the Petitioner" and that he felt that the "statement was prepared with the
premeditated intention of persuading the Court for my annulment application to faif'.
The Official Receiver responded to Mr Ahmed to request that he provide specific
information on any inaccuracies so these could be added to the report. However, as
at the date of this report, no further correspondence has been received on the
matter. [MKSlpg.20-21]
28 On 2 October 2021 the Official Receiver received an email from Mohammed Kamal
Ahmed requesting a copy of the petitioning creditor's proof of debt. He stated, "In
addition £12, 000 security has been added to 4 1 Rothsay Road on 29.09.2021
against Dabir's Interest. I will forward you the order when I receive it. This £12, 000
formed part of the petition debt and therefore must fall away from my debt as it is
secured now". The most recent available copy of the title from the Land Registry
does not show that this security and, as at the date of this report, a copy of the
order has not been received. [MK1 1 lpg.25]
29 In the same email of 2 October 202 1 , Mr Mohammed Kamal Ahmed requested that
the Official Receiver contact the petitioning creditor's solicitor "Nigel Smith and find
out under oath, how much security he has and against what". A response was
emailed to Mohammed Kamal Ahmed, attaching a copy of the petitioning creditors
proof of debt, advising that " The Official Receiver's role is not to prove the debt is
owed, there has already been an order made by the judge sitting at the bankruptcy
hearing in that regard, therefore we will not be seeking to examine Mr Smith under
oath". [MK1 2lpg.26-28]
30 On 14 January 2022 the Official Receiver sent an email to Dabir Nozrul Islam
Ahmed advising of his intention to ask the Secretary of State to replace him as
trustee with an Insolvency Practitioner. He was asked if he wished to nominate a
new trustee and that the deadline was Friday 21 January 2022. He replied
requesting an extension to this deadline, however this was refused. [MK1 3lpg29-
30]
31 Should it be established that the above assets in paragraph 6 are not subject to a
family trust, Mr Ahmed has known liabilities of £2,764,538 and potential assets of
£1 ,21 7, 354. The decision on whether or not the bankruptcy should be annulled on
the basis that it ought not to have been made is a matter for the court to decide.
35
32 Mr Mohammed Kamal Ahmed application is on the basis that the order ought not to
have been made therefore the Official Receiver requests that the Court make a n
order for costs in the matter. Based o n a time and rate calculation the Official
Receiver's costs are £2,269.50. It should be noted that, as at the date of this report,
£7,600.56 has been received from M r Ahmed's bank account.

Questionnaire
REPLY :
A. We are not I 00 %. Our family that included our father and the uncles were a traditional joint
family from Indian Subcontinent. They conducted their business together between brothers
including their cousins and were into various business including property business. With the
proceed from the business they had bought properties for the family and left the properties for
the children.
B. We have made attempt to find out hovv this Deed was constructed and the information that we
have come to know is that this deed was prepared by a family friend, called Mr Jimmy Yamphet.
I have been in touch with him recently he confirmed the same. He explained, he had another
friend John that had similar deed for his own family which was drafted by a solicitor based in
London, Katherine Road , High Street North area. He couldn't recall the name, but knows they
are no longer there as the Solicitor has retired and moved to Canada some years back. When our
parents had discussed the matter with Jimmy, Jimmy offered to draft this using the template
from John. This is how this deed had come about.
D. He explained it was done for the purposes of the family's children so that know whos owned
what and what share. It was not done for it to be used the current context. Our family had
never been involved in any type of litigation or court cases before. Court cases / Litigation
37
are not seen with good light in the community so no one would have anticipated for it come
to this. One wrong friendship by Mohammad and our entire family is dragged into this.
2 . I f the deed of trust was not prepared by solicitors, then who was it prepared
by? Do you have any corre spondence or ema i l s from the party who prepared the
document confirming the i n s tructions they received, the advice they gave or
indeed simp l y ve ri fying the date a t t r ibuted to the document?
REPLY :
The wording the layout was already drafted by a solicitor for John and his family. When our parents
discussed the matter with Jimmy , Jimmy used the same draft to create one for our family. The
allocation of share was decided by the family elders. As to the rationale behind the allocation of
shares are only known to them. We have no idea why a certain percentage was given to certain
people.
3. Other than the par t i e s to i t , including the witness, can any other third
party, especially a profe s s i onal adviser or former profe s s i onal advi ser,
verify its terms and the date a t tributed to i t ?
REPLY :
The only person that we know that can verify the deed is Jimmy Yamphet.
REPLY :
We do not know.
5 . What was the purpose of the deed of trust and why the shares attributed to who
they were and why to those proper t i e s ?
REPLY :
The True intention as to the purpose of the Deed and why the shares attributed in the way they were
is not known to us. We can only assume; the purpose was to give everyone an equal share of the
asset. If you look closely on the share attribution then you will note , everyone ended up with the
similar shares overall. In other words everyone ended up with same equal shares albeit attributed to
different properties but if you add them up then you will note, all adds up to same shares.
6 . To what extent have the parties contributed to the purchase or the upkeep of
any of the properties referred to therein?
REPLY :
38
Generally, as a part of the entire entity they are involved in day to day management, maintenance of
the properties where everyone gives their time equally in maintaining the properties as much as
possible in between their personal and professional lives . It is not set in stone, but everyone gives
their time as much as possible. They do it more as a help for the family then doing it for themselves.
Even if we were not given the share of the asset , we would have done exactly the same where we
would have offered our help where it was needed whenever it would have been needed.
7 . To what extent have any of the parties referred to therein been in occupation
of any o f the properties referred to therein and if so for what dates ( i ncluding
current ) and upon what terms - is full commercial rent being paid subj ect to a
tenancy agreement .
REPLY :
1. These properties are all used the purposes of benefiting everyone within the family . 2 1 4 Plashet
Grove is a the family main house where we all Grew up pretty much. When the family grew
bigger , some member of the family then moved to across the road in 1 97 Plashet Grove. When
I say they moved to 1 97 Plahset Grove, I mean they only use it to sleep there, the cooking as
still done at 2 1 4 Plashet Grove and everyone eats at 2 1 4 Plashet grove. When extended family
visits , they visit 2 1 4 Plashet Grove as the family's main hub and not 1 97 Plashet Grove. The
girls of the family had moved out one by one when they had married but the family stayed as
one joint family. It's a one family entity.
11. Any proceed generated from the prope11ies are used by all to subsides their own respective lives.
For example, as an elder boy in the family DNA buys everyone their cars and pay for the
maintance of the cars. DNA also pay everyone's insurances as well as everyone's mobile phone
bills. We use the proceed to fund the family's yearly holiday together and for whatever big
expenses they need to make. Everyone dips into the money if and when they need it so long as
the money available. We do not mix any funds with our own personal funds that we earn
through employment or other means. We do not follow a set rule of share. We just all discuss
and share the proceed for the ones that needs the most. We appreciate the fact that this is very
unusual process in these day and age but this is how we have operated for almost 3 generations
or at least as long as we remember it.

13. When was the deed o f trust f i r s t known t o o r disclosed t o Alias Hussain?
REPLY :
40
1. It was never disclosed to Mr Elias Hussain directly and the reason never arose for it to be
disclosed. The family trust deed had always been known to everyone that knew the family. Elias
knew the fami ly well and he would have known about it. And it had been mentioned at times
whenever there was a talk of any family asset. The deed had been talked about in the court and
Elias' s Solicitor and barrister had accepted the existence of the trust deed. Pleadings ( skeleton
arguments ) relied upon by other side refers to the Trust Deed whenever the talk of family asset
had been discussed and copy had been flying around from the outset.
ii. He had nothing to do with the family and these properties. He is not party to the family asset
and the properties within had nothing to do with him. The dispute with Mr Hussain was over a
completely separate propertv not connected to these properties at all. The dispute with Mr
Elias Hussain was over 2A Keppel Road that was purchased by Mohamamd Kamal Ahmed and
elias Hussain in July 2007 in joint venture for the sum of £425,000
i ii . In the year 2006 MKA became interested in a property of 2 and 2A Keppel Road on the
introduction of Elias. Elias persuaded MKA to join in the purchase of 2 and 2A Keppel Road.
An oral joint venture with MKA, DNA and Elias for the purchase of 2 and 2A Keppel Road,
East Ham, London E6 2BO was formed. Pursuant to the joint venture 2 Keppel Road,
comprising two residential flats, was purchased by MKA, DNA and Elias and 2A Keppel Road
was acquired by MKA, DNA and Elias. A non-binding Memorandum of Sale was signed and
a holding deposit of £ 1 ,000 paid in November 2006 to the sellers. Completion was on 2nd July
2007 and MKA, DNA and Elias were registered as proprietors of the two properties on 25
September 2007. E l ias had failed to come up with any money except a contribution of just
£2,984. Mohammad should have known better as Elias was known to everyone and his financial
ability was very clear and before agreeing to but the property on 50:50 basis Mohammad should
have known that Elias did not have the means to pay for it.
iv. Once the property was purchase it 'vvas developed at cost of over £ 3 1 9.000. This money was lent
to MKA by DNA and other members of the family. The deal was that Elias Hussain will soon
find money to and his contribution equal but he never did. He created one excuse or other and
never came up with the money. In the hindsight, he never had the intention to make his
contribution equal. He was in it for the free ride. He effectively became 50% beneficial owner
of2A Keppel Road and 1 00% owner of the Flat I with a less than 1 % contribution.
41
v. Once developed the property was Mortgaged with Bank of Scotland for the sum of £358,000.
Elias took half the money and never accounted for the shortfall of his contribution. Because the
property was in 2 names, the solicitor at the time advised both that he could only transfer the
money equally between the parties. The deal was that upon receipt of the money from the
Solicitor, Elias will send the money to Mohammad but he never did except a sum of £25,000.
Elias walked away with half the loan from Bank of Scotland.
vi. Elias left the office from which he operated with MKA and DNA in about January 20 1 0 when
the Claimant discovered defalcations on the part of Elias in relation to rents collected and
deposits paid by tenants. The joint venture broke down in 201 0 and following legal proceedings
between MKA, DNA and Elias, in the Central London County Court, HH Judge May QC held
on 29 August 2 0 1 4 (the "May Judgement") that the freehold of 2 Keppel Road was held for
MKA and DNA as to 50% and by Elias as to 50% as tenants in common.
v11. It was also held that 2A Keppel Road was held as to 50% by MKA and by Elias as to
50% as tenants in common beneficially. Elias had only contributed 2.3% towards the purchase
of2A Keppel Road and its development, while Claimant and MKA contributed remaining 93.7
% of the total.
v111. Prior to the hearing before H HJ May Elias's then fake solicitor Mr Anthony Hemmings
made an application to debar MKA and as a result he was debaiTed from submitting a witness
statement or giving evidence at the trial before HHJ May due to the negligence of his then
solicitors which lead to Elias being awarded 50% beneficial share of 2A Keppel Road.
ix. Further and in addition, Elias Hussain had never paid a penny towards the Mortgage with Bank
of Scotland where MKA had paid a total of £ 1 46,000 towards the mortgage payment from the
inception of the mortgage in 2008 unti I the property was sold.
x. Elias before DJ Lightman on 29 March 20 1 6 presented a fake lease agreement between him and
his own brother , Mr Enamul Hassan ( ELH ) and claimed that his brother Enamul Hasan had
been paying rent for the disputed property since 2009 and he continued to pay the rent. Elias on
Paragraph 37 of statement signed \vith a Statement of Truth , dated 07 August 20 I 5 Stated "
Rent was paid in 2009 and there is 110 reason for it not continue thereafter"
42
x1. Using this false rent claim leas was awarded a rent claim o f £ 1 1 9,000 plus interest plus cost By
DJ Lightman on 29 March 20 1 6. This has now become the judgement debt.
x11. Earlier using a fake solicitor called Anthony Hemmings, Elias made an application for
debarring Mohammed from Defending the Account hearing before DJ Lightman. This fake
solicitor , whose real name is Michael Olasende had been struck of for fraud in 2007. He lied
that Mohammad did not comply with the earlier order for account hearing and was saucerful
with his application to debar Mohammad from Defending the claim for rent.
xiii. Michael Olasende's fraud was later discovered by SRA. Please see link below
xiv. Using the Debarment to their ful l advantage the advanced a totally fictitious rent claim.
Which later they have both admitted to be false.
xv. On 1 9.09.20 1 8 the Second Defendant (MKA's brother Dabir Nozrul Islam Ahmed) issued
fraud proceedings against the C laimant Lmder the action no E02CL879 !EXHIBIT 6J.
xvi. The Defendants Mr Elias Hussain and his brother Mr Enamul Hasan served a Defence on 02
November 20 1 8 with Statement of Truth " I believe thatfacts stated in this Defence are true"
[EXHIBIT 71
XVII. Paragraph 62.1 where the Claimant and his brother had stated in their defence:
xviii. " In the course ofapplyingfor mortgagefinance as pleaded in paragraphs 44 and 45 ofthis
Defence, MKA and Elias were advised by Mr Singh, a business development manager in the
employment of the Bank that Bank of Scotland wished to see a commercial lease of Unit I
"
xix. Paragraph 62.2 where the Claimant had stated in their defence:
" MKA and Elias agreed to enter into a commercial lease with Enamul, intending that such
lease would or may be assigned to SMPUKL once the mortgagefunds fwd been drawn down ".
43
xx. Paragraph 64 where the Claimant's defence had stated:
" It is admitted that the lease was not exhibited to Elias 's statement preparedfor the purposes
ofthe account, as specifically adverted to in paragraph 37 ofthat statement, but it is admitted
and averred that the deed of rectification and licence was exhibited to his witness statement
as alleged in paragraph 13" Paragraph 66 where the Claimant had stated
xx 1. " It is admitted that Enamul paid 110 rent in respect Unit 1 from the date of the grant of the
lease until its assignment, or thereafter"
XXII. Paragraph 72.2 where the Claimant had stated:
" It is arln1itte(/ that 110 rent J-vas paid bJ' E11an111/ "
Paragraph 72.5 where the Claimant had stated:
" Elias admits that 110 rent had been paid by Enamul as aforesaid ".
ENFORCING THE JUDGEMENT:
1. Elias then took charge orders against the family properties and proceeded to sell them.
Elias had been pa11 of managing family's properties for years. He had collected all rents and
distributed them accordingly from at least 2006. It had always been known to everyone that had
any association with the family. A copy was made available if and when the fam i ly asset was
discussed.

Please see earlier reply where I have briefly explained how the proceeds are shared and used for
the benefit of the family.
REPLY:
44
There is no rationale behind such arrangement and if one looks at with modern day western
system in mind , it would never make sense . It is family tradition for the boys to be responsible
for everything fair or otherwise. Having catered for the girls if it means boys go without then so
be it. Its an upspoken rule in the family and the wide community of the people from similar
background. Boys are expected to make the sacrifice whether it is financially beneficial or not.
Traditionally in an arrangement such as this the girls are almost a lways made to be better off.
This is because the girls are traditionally seen as vulnerable and therefore, they should benefit
more. The boys and particularly the eldest in the family are usually lumbered with everything.
It is more a reasonability thing then fairness. It is the responsibility of the boys take the control
of the realm whether is fair or otherwise.

This property was sold in an Auction by Elias Hussain. The sale completed on 1 9 May 202 1 . Prior
to the sale of the property the property was valued £468,000. But in the Auction it only attracted
£4 1 5,000 with a shortfall of at least £50,000 to £60,000. We blame this on the timing of the sale.
Elias had l isted the property to be sold in an Auction during the hight of the covid 1 9 pandemic
when all gathering were banned by the Govmment. This resulted in the Auction been held on line
only. The results were fewer people had logged to bid, leading to lower price fetched. We believe
had it been sold in the open auction then the true value would have been real ised. Mohammad had
been seriously prej udiced as result for the sum of At least £50,000 to £60,000

MK.A engaged with the solicitors firm Men·itt & Co in 2 0 1 7 when Elias made part 8 Application
to see the property of 307 Katherine Road and 1 1 2 Strone Road. She was instructed to oppose the
sale. She had agreed a set fee with MKA verbally for the sum of £5,000 to deal with the
application to sell. The Counsel fee was agreed and paid separately. Later she billed MKA for
extra hours that she couldn't have spent on the case as he had only worked for the firm just I day
a week. MKA subsequently paid her a total of £8, 1 98 but she was not satisfied with the additional
sums
She then issued Court proceedings for unpaid invoices under case number: E45YX782 at
Clerkenwell & Shored itch County Court. I defended the case, there was a cost order made against
me for around £5,000 around November 20 1 8, for which she must have obtained a charging order
for. I was not served with anything and she has somehow lodged it against the title of the property.

Please find attached document that explains it all. We have since obtained a judgement to set aside

for damages. The j udgement was entered in our absence. We have applied for the judgement to be

The property was sold by Elias Husain i n Auction. Please find attached completion statement
1 9 May 202 1 . This property was undersold. Prior to the sale the property was valued between
£445,000 and £450,000. I n the Auction the property was sold for £39 1 ,000. Again,
Mohammaed was prejudiced because of the timing of the sale. Elias Hussain had l isted the
property i n an Auction at the hight of Covid 1 9 pandemic and the Auction was held only on line.
Had it been for a usual auction with physical presence then the property would have been sold
for at least £450,000, leavening the stakeholders out of pocket by at least £60,0000. Elias had
been negligent to the stake holders to an extent as any normal person would have delayed the
sale until at least the pandemic restrictions were relaxed and law allowed people to gather
again and this way the property would have been sold for the correct market price.

A SHORT EXPLNATION OF EACH LOAN I S PROVI DED BELOW :
DABIR LOAN:
Money was borrowed to purchase 2A Keppel Road for £425,0000 when Mr Hussain had failed
to come with the money. l requested Dabir to meet the shortfall and he had lent the shortfall.
The property needed development where MKA had spent around £319,000 before it was
mo11gaged with Bank of Scotland. It was largely borrowed from Dabir and others.
ln the year 2008 MKA had set up a company called St Martins and the cost of setting up was
approximately £40,0000. This was borrowed from Dabir and other members of the family. In
the Year 20 10, Hussain had left the business but whilst he was in the business he had stollen
Tenants Deposit for the sum of around £29,000. MKA had borrowed from Dabir to meet this
sho11fall.
ln the same year of 2008 another company was set up by MKA with Elias , the cost of this
was borrowed from Dabir. Then there were other cost in between
Whilst Mr Hussain had been in occupation of 2A Keppel Road, he had conducted some
building work without planning pennission. In year 20 1 2, London Borough of Newham had
issued enforcement notice and demanded that property be amended as otherwise they \.VOuld
demolish the building at their own cost. Cost of dealing with enforcement including the legal
55
cost for a Public Hearing and subsequently building works had cost around £66,000. This was
borrowed from Dabir.
LITIGATION
Hussain started the I itigation on or around 2010, It had cost MKA a lot of fees in terms of legal
fees. These fees were borrowed from Different people on the creditors list including Dabir. A
full list of cost for all legal cost for this matter is available should you wish to review it.
Dabir waved his 95% share in favour of MKA on the promise from Nigel Smith that he would
not seek MKA's bankruptcy. Nigel Smith took the money but still pressed ahead with the
bankruptcy.
For 307 Katherine Road , Dabir gave up his 95% share for the sum of£168,235.49 and loaned
the money to MKA
For 1 1 2 Strone Road, Dabir Loaned MKA 95 % of his share for the sum of £ I 54,911.28 and
loaned the money to MKA.
This was on the promise that if Dabir gave up his share and loaned the money to MKA for
Nigel Smith to take then Mr Smith wouldn't seek MKA's Bankruptcy.
HAZRA T LOAN:
In the year 2008, borrowed a total of£13,400. This was spent on developing 2A Keppel Road.
In the year 2013, total borrowed was £28, I 35. This was spent on setting up a medical business
that had subsequently failed. Some of the funds were spent in dealing with the Enforcement
notice served on 2A Keppel Road. The enforcement notice was appealed that had lead to a
Public enquiry. There was a total of 6 hearing all together each costing around £4,000 in
ba1Tister fee alone and then the cost of a solicitor too.
Between 20 1 4 AND 201 5, TOTAL BORROWED WAS £13,450 for the business as above
and further funds for the sum of £2 I ,580 was borrowed between 2016 and 20 I 8.
Between 2018 and 2020, total botTowed was £62,500. This was largely spent on , Mortgage
payment due to Bank of Scotland for 2A Keppel Road, in the region of £2,100 per month
from 2008 until he property was sold where Elias failed to contribute his 50% share of the
liability. The 'Hazrat Loan was also used to fund the legal cost for the case of Elias and
Mohammad renovated his house at a cost of around £ 18,000 to £ I 9,000.00
Money borrowed from Mr Uddin was largely spent on dealing with the legal cost. That
included at least half of it spend on dealing with Bankruptcy proceedings. The Stats demand
was issued on 20 Feb 2020. Initially an application was made to set aside the stats demand at
cost of nearly £ I 0,000 in legal fees that involved 2 hearings.
56
Subsequently, there a total of around 6 hearing at cost of nearly £4,000 for each hearing both
in barristers cost and solicitor's cost. There was other cost associated with the whole process.
The cost of obtaining, valuation cost for each property among other cost. The list very
extensive and for the sake of keeping matters brief I have limited the explanation to main core
parts only.
Total sums borrowed in the year 2014 were £17,400. A full breakdown is available if you wish
to see it. These were spent on Medical Company. The loan of£14,000 was spent, split between
legal cost and overheads of the medical company. £8200 borrowed in 2016 was spent on
maintaining the overheads. The sums borrowed in 2019 and 2021 almost all of it had been
spent on legal cost.
The borrowed between 2017 and 2019 were spent on setting up the Medical Company.
A loan of £ I 43,421 was made to cover debt with banks. He balance was spent mainly on legal
cost fighting the Elias case. A balance of around £ 12500 was spent on renovating 112 Strone
Road.
Money borrowed from Mr Kadir between 2020 and 2021 were almost all of it spent on 2A
Keppel Road fixing the roofs etc in anticipation of selling it in the open market to pay off the
debt with Bank of Scotland. In the end Elias went to the Court seeking the conduct of sale be
given to Mr Nigel Smith. Mr Smith was given the conduct of sale on IO Feb 2020 by DJ
Jackson. He then conducted a sham bid on 24 February 2020 and the property on for just
£141,500. The same property was valued £740,000 by Ashdown Lyons ( see attached
valuation by Ashdown Lyons dated 25 Jan 2008) on be half of Bank of Scotland in the year
2008 when it was mortgaged with Bank of Scotland. Even if the property did not go up in
value by a penny in 12 years, it should have been worth at least £740,000 but for some strange
reason Smith had sold the property for just £ 141,000 leaving MKA out of pocket by at least
£599,000/2 = £299,500
As I have mentioned t o you debt due t o assoc i a t ed parties not only have
different vot ing rights but are also the subj ect of closer scrutiny by
dissent ing credi tors or by a Court in the event of a challenge . Indeed
i t is one of the tasks o f the Nominees t o try to be s a t i s fied that there
is substance t o the debt and the values attributed to them . I n those
circumstances therefore, where it i s said, for examp l e , that the debts
arise by loans then do provide documents such as the loan agreements
and evidence of the transfers of money and any repayments e t c .

Dear Dr Beum,
As you may be aware, a bankruptcy order was made against the Bankrupt on 24 May 2021 on the
petition of a creditor presented on 30 January 2020. Mr Parkman was appointed to be the Trustee in
Bankruptcy with effect from 1 4 March 2022.
Section 283(A) of the I nsolvency Act 1 986 provides that a Trustee in Bankruptcy is required to take
certain steps to deal with property which is comprised in the estate in bankruptcy of the Bankrupt, and
which was occupied by the Bankrupt and/or his spouse or civil partner, or a former spouse or former
civil partner, within three years from the making of the bankruptcy order.
The period of three years can be extended or disapplied by order of the Court.
From the information provided either to the Insolvency Service or to his Trustee by the Bankrupt, it
would seem that he, and we believe you, were either in occupation of the property at 1 97 Plashet
Grove, E6 1 BX or 2 1 4 Plashet Grove, E6 1 DA as at the date of the bankruptcy order.
The purpose of this letter is to invite your engagement and your confirmation as to the address of the
property at which you resided as at the date of the bankruptcy order namely 24 May 202 1 . We enclose
a stamped addressed envelope to assist you in your reply.
If you would prefer to respond by email, and that would be helpful, then could you please reply to the
following address:
kmitchell@isadoregoldman.com
We should make clear that the provisions of section 283(A) of the Insolvency Act 1 986 may not apply in
the case of your husband's bankruptcy on the premise that according to him, the title to the properties at
1 97 and 2 1 4 were not property within his bankruptcy estate but were otherwise regulated by reference
to a deed of trust made on 28 May 2008. That is a matter that is currently under investigation.
However, to ensure that there is no misunderstanding between the parties, it would be helpful if you
could assist by confirming your address as at the relevant date.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Ahmed
As you are aware, a bankruptcy order was made against you on 24 May 2021 on the petition of a
creditor presented on 30 January 2020. My client, Christopher Parkman was appointed to be your
Trustee in Bankruptcy with effect from 14 March 2022.
Section 283(A) of the Insolvency Act 1986 requires your Trustee to take certain steps to realise his
interest in any property which was comprised in your estate in bankruptcy at the time of the
making of the order, and which was occupied by you and/or your wife, and/or any former wife,
within three years from the date of the bankruptcy order.
Based upon the information you have provided to the Insolvency Service and/or to your Trustee in
Bankruptcy, it would seem that as at the date of the bankruptcy order, it was either the property
at 197 Plashet Grove, London E6 lBX or that at 214 Plashet Grove, London E6 lDA that was
occupied by you and/or your wife as at the date of the bankru ptcy order.
I would be grateful for your confirmation that you and your wife ( and/ or any ex-wife) were only
in occupation of either of these properties as at the date of the bankruptcy order. If you a nd/or
your wife ( or any former wife) were in occupation of any other property as at the date of the
bankruptcy order, then would you please provide a note of the address of that property.
As I have mentioned above, it is only property which comprises an asset in your estate in
ban kruptcy at the time of the bankru ptcy order which enjoys the benefit of the provisions of
section 283(A). As you know it has been asserted by you, that the title to 197 and 214 was in
fact regulated by reference to a Deed of Trust dated 28 May 2008 and as such neither property
at that date comprised an asset in the estate.
I do however require clear confirmation as to the addresses occupied by you and/or your wife as
at the date of the ban kruptcy order and I would remind you that you remain under a statutory
obligation to assist my client pursuant to the provisions of section 333 of the Insolvency Act
1986.
Yours sincerely,
Kevin Mitchell
