Amended Particulars of Claim and Defences
Amended Particulars of Claim and Defences
On 30 October 2023 Mold served Amended Particulars of Claim. The amendments pleaded allegations based on messages exchanged between the participants in a WhatsApp group referred to in the proceedings as “the Mold WhatsApp Group”, including Mr Holloway and Mr Jacques. There is no dispute as to the authenticity of these messages. Mold contends that these messages provide strong support for its case against Mr Holloway and Mr Jacques. Mr Holloway and Mr Jacques dispute this.
Mr Holloway served a Defence on 4 December 2023 and an Amended Defence on 13 December 2023. Mr Jacques served a Defence and a Part 20 Claim against George Taylor and Mr Hughes on 12 January 2024. Mr Taylor’s involvement in the proceedings is explained more fully below, but at this stage it is sufficient to note that Mr Jacques alleges that he was a de facto director of Mold from February 2021 onwards.
