Seems like a load of tosh if you ask me.

you cannot serve or be served with legal documents via email.

Hope all is well, am greatly admiring you for standing up for all that is good and right!

You know where to find me if your hosting company has any problems, it’s great to hear they are a sensible company by the seems of things, please do pass my details on to them as I am the one who made the true statements which are being falsely claimed as libelous and I will do everything I can to assist.

Would be very interested to see the letter your hosting firm has received – interestingly Richard Davies and Richard Davies have still failed to respond to the straight forward questions asked of them! I wonder if that is a sign of how genuine their comments are on this forum? I keep watching the forum with baited breath…

Keep up the great work!

1. I believe you cannot serve any legal notice in this country (UK) by email as it cannot be signed as such to prove ownership in a court of law. So any previous correspondance in terms of demands is irrelevant.

2. AndyM is spot on to my knowledge. You can only libel someone if you state something about someone which is untrue and you do so in a public arena. However, repeating something someone else has said but turns out to be false is no defence against this.

3. Anyone who sends an email under a fake name is clearly either a spammer or has something to hide !.

I am a web host myself and have read this in the past in case I am ever contacted over a customer’s web site. Luckily, so far this has not happened.

As long as you have given an honest account of what has happened, this article is not libellous and I believe anyone cannot demand that it be removed for this reason.

As for Google – take a look at the following article which also links to two documents on removing content from search results. As you will see, for sites in the US it states that Google does not remove defamatory content unless ordered by a court to do so.

Obviously things may be different here in the UK, but I would not expect Google to remove it, or your host (at least not without notice). I certainly would not, not without proper legal documentation that I could hold in my hands (or if it was something obviously illegal).

Despite the excitement of contact from Davies and Davies, still no update on a postal / service address to reach Richard James Davies or Romeo Bater Ltd other than a hotmail email account.

Does anyone know if Mr Davies Jr is sleeping under a wet windy London bridge or has fled to sunny Australia perhaps?

Can Mr Richard Morgan Davies confirm whether or not he is now speaking to or knows the whereabouts of his son and if Foresbrook, Butterfield Green, Luton is indeed where he is living or not?

There has been no answer to the simple question about “where the missing rents and tenant deposits” have gone, and considering the previous comments made on this blog by Richard James Davies (2010-01-17 15:50:34):

(NB. Landlord please add a link if you can to the other comments section of the blog)

“… my Father, Richard Morgan Davies had absolutely no knowledge of the financial straights that my company was in when I asked him to become a director and invest money into the company to open a second office.

I worked as hard as humanly possible to keep the company going to earn enough money to pay everyone back but the hole I was in was too deep.”

And those of Richard Morgan Davies (2010-01-17 19:03:29):

“Every body involved worked as hard as they could to keep things going, the fact that I lost my entire lifes savings proves that we took this very very seriously.The office rent and wage bills were just too big to sustain and the company went under.”

There is hence nothing to counter the personal opinions (that I am entitled to state here, but, as per all content of this post, are not necessarily those of the site owner, any moderator or other contributor of this site)”

(a) That Richard James Davies could possibly have used the missing tenant rent and deposit monies discussed to fund the expansion of Romeo Bater Ltd, a business owned by him and his father, including those rent and wage bills “that were just too big” that Richard Davies Sr referenced in his own comment.

(b) That people may be wondering if Mr Richard Davies Jr or Sr were recipients of the wages that were (partial quote) “just too big to sustain” and that could possibly look to some observers as some form of dishonest personal gain?

(c) That maybe Mr Richard Morgan Davies was unfortunately as oblivious of his fiduciary duties as a Director of the company as he was of the business accounts prior to investing in the firm, for such a terrible turn of circumstances concluding in the loss of his life savings.
