“Wethinks thou dost protest too much” Mr Stainer.
For Mr Michael Stainer things have gone from bad to worse. The Director of The Grand Folkestone (Mr Stainer is not the owner according to Companies House) has made things worse for himself as we said. Why so?
I would have thought that before Mr.Stainer conjures up £800,000 to tart up his suites, he might want to pay the £170,000 he and his wife owe in unpaid maintenance charges for the 17 leasehold flats they “own”. Carey Street beckons?
One might want to add that part of Stainer’s mitigation plea was that for much of the time “he was fully engaged in his work with Eurotunnel”. Elsewhere the judgement refers to “his work for for Eurotunnel” and his “role with Eurotunnel”. Did the Court realise what this “work” was and did they assume he was an employee working full-time?
His “work” consisted of a perfectly legitimate campaign to secure the perks that the initial investors were entitled to.
Hmmm……
Work ?

Can’t wait to see the Folkstone Herald article on this!! He’s obviously going to appeal isn’t he? Lawyers must think Xmas has come early when he appears
In true style, Mr.Stainer filed a final appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery) and according to the hearings and register this was done on August 17th, Real last minute stuff! How his lawyers must rub their hands with glee when they get a call from him!
As usual greed prevails
