to a law firm has been banned from making any direct further contact with the practice Mrs Justice Hill ruled in Foot Anstey v Sean Stimson that it was more likely than not that Sean Stimson had harassed at least two members of staff from national firm Foot Anstey Stimson is in a dispute involving his aunt’s will which is being handled by the firm and which made provision for three animal charities and a hospice to recover the proceeds of her estate He says there is a separate will and that she did not have capacity when she agreed to donate her estate to the charities although he has yet to substantiate these assertions The court heard that at various ‘trigger points’ – when a dispute arose in 2022 or when payments were made earlier this year – Stimson threatened attendance and confrontation at the Foot Anstey offices and the client charities In one such communication he threatened to organise a ‘flashmob’ at the address of the hospice It was also alleged that Stimson threatened the use of false and misleading domain names and made threats to spread malware within the firm’s IT system four calls in the space of 21 minutes were made to female employees of the firm One person noted that the caller said he ‘wanted to fuck and rape me’ and all four calls involved abusive and sexually offensive language The caller’s voice matched with voicemails previously left by Stimson and was identified by a staff member who had previously dealt with him However further enquiries found he had left the building when they were made The firm and charities applied for an interim injunction preventing Stimson from attend their premises in person unless with prior agreement It would also prevent him from making contact through phone text or email except through a designated email and post address He would also not be allowed to engage in any computer misuse or organise for other people to attend the firm or charities The judge said the seriousness threshold for imposing an injunction was met and that she accepted the evidence of those individuals who were shocked or distressed by calls from Stimson The injunction was not a blanket ban on all communications and Stimson will be able to make appropriate reports to regulators if he sees fit The judge added: ‘The applicants are rightly concerned about the welfare of their staff and that

2024-09-18T12:36:00+01:00 National firm Foot Anstey has become one of the first UK law firms to decide to donate 1% of its net profits to charity will be invested into the firm’s responsible business programme which focuses on supporting sustainability community and charity initiatives. Foot Anstey described the pledge as the ‘next step on the journey to having a greater positive impact on local communities’ The funding commitment will also provide a boost to The Foot Anstey Foundation which supports charities and community groups through grants The 1% donation will be used to match staff fundraising for good causes.  Gibson: Firm wants to tackle ‘social mobility cold spots’ As part of its responsible business programme this summer the firm donated £50,000 to YHA (England and Wales) The charity provides accommodation for young people and families facing adversity. The donation will help provide 250 spaces on YHA’s breaks programme which provides access to travel for groups of young people who face challenges or need additional support Executive director of responsible business at Foot Anstey said the firm wanted to tackle ‘social mobility cold spots’ and ‘find and support our next generation of talent’ She added: ‘Foot Anstey is ready to take the next step on the journey to having a greater positive impact on local communities and young people across the country. Our new strategy will also see us make significant commitments around environmental performance and to the provision of other resources to help local communities.’ Managing partner Martin Hirst said: ‘We take our responsibility to our people Our people want to use their time and skills to deliver for our clients and causes that matter to them and our new approach will enable them to do this ‘With the appointment of our responsible business lead and our 1% profit pledge we’re excited to see the difference we can make.’ The firm has achieved 44% growth since 2020 when revenue was around £46m Foot Anstey said it believes it is one of the first UK firms to make a 1% profits pledge international firm Simmons & Simmons made an additional charity donation of £2m of its global profit to charities providing relief to those affected by the pandemic A law firm has obtained a restraining order against a man who threatened to rape its staff and send a flashmob to a hospice Foot Anstey stepped in to administer the estate of Sean Stimson’s deceased aunt after the original solicitors renounced the executorship It soon became clear why the original firm may have exited Stimson’s aunt had made no provision for him in her will leaving her worldly wealth to three animal charities and a hospice instead Stimson challenged the will on the grounds that his aunt was lacking capacity and had made a separate will in 2020 Mrs Justice Hill said he had not substantiated his assertions and had brought the probate proceedings to "something of a standstill” by refusing to produce the alleged second will Instead he targeted the lawyers and the beneficiaries Stimson indicated he would confront Foot Antsey staff at their office and then threatened to arrange for a flashmob to appear at the hospice Stimson holds himself out as an IT expert and indicated that he had purchased domain names in the name of the hospice and Foot Anstey and made threats that he would spread malware within their IT systems Then in August he made four “obscene and criminal” phone calls to female employees at Foot Anstey only one of whom had anything to do with the probate case One of the employees targeted by Stimson told the court “I think he said he wanted to fuck and rape me Justice Hill said the firm was “rightly concerned about the welfare of their staff and that without apprehending [Stimson] from certain sorts of behaviour there is a very realistic risk that this sort of behaviour will continue” She approved the firm's application for an interim injunction banning Stimson from turning up at Foot Anstey or the charities without prior agreement The order bans him from arranging for anyone else to turn up either - presumably to curtail any flashmobs which are a bit much at the best of times but particularly so on your deathbed Stimson is also banned from messing about with the firm’s IT or domain names and from communicating with Foot Anstey about anything except the will and only then via a specified email address In 2017 Stimson admitted breaching a restraining order when he made abusive calls to Harbottle & Lewis nine times That order was made in 2001 when the High Court barred Stimson and his brother EMI Records and Robbie Williams’ business after the brothers convinced themselves the singer had nicked their idea for a Britpop musical and used it for his Millennium video According to a press report at the time the pair “bombarded” the firm and the record label with dozens of nuisance phone calls “screaming swearwords and whistling at baffled staff” Harbottle & Lewis installed a system which recognised Stimson’s calls and filtered them into a dedicated voicemail but he bought pay-as-you-go mobile phones to circumvent the block A spokesperson for Foot Anstey told RollOnFriday "We take the safety of our staff extremely seriously”. “We felt this interim injunction was an essential step to take to protect our people and maintain a safe In a law firm?

Home   News   Article An appeal has been launched to overturn the refusal of planning permission for 87 retirement flats in the grounds of the 17th-century Anstey Hall Cambridge City Council has twice rejected the plans over concerns about the impact on the historic hall But owner John de Bruyne says the ‘retirement village’ would help secure the long-term future of the grade II*-listed building the council said the development would “significantly encroach into existing protected open space” It concluded: “By virtue of the accommodation blocks’ incongruous design and appearance the proposal would fail to appropriately relate to Anstey Hall in terms of their design resulting in adverse impacts upon the character and appearance of Trumpington Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building.” Developer Trumpington Investments Ltd has appealed to the Planning Inspectorate, explaining the flats would provide the funding needed to maintain Anstey Hall and its outbuildings where an estimated £1.1million of restoration work is needed “With the owner John de Bruyne now 80 years old we need to decide on a long-term use that will ensure that Anstey Hall can continue,” the statement said “Our plan is to incorporate a retirement community into the ‘development land’ to the south “This will allow Anstey Hall to serve as the central facilities for the 87 two-bedroom apartments It will generate funds to complete the renovation of the house and outbuildings “The revenue will fund the ongoing maintenance of the buildings and grounds in perpetuity “Anstey Hall has a growing schedule of community meetings and our proposal includes exploiting the existing art collection as the basis for an institution similar to the much-valued Kettle’s Yard.” The statement argued it was “well documented” that there has been a “significant growth in the population of elderly people” and the importance of more private housing with care for elderly had been emphasised in “recent government literature and studies” It added: “After having reconsidered our case and the evidence of our experts in their specialist reports we believe that the council has attributed a higher order of protection to the open space to this part of the conservation area and to the setting of the listed building than is justified the council considered that there is a greater level of harm than our specialist experts have identified in their reports on landscape and heritage “And the council has not given appropriate weight to the substantial public benefits which in our opinion outweigh any less than substantial harm.” A planning inspector will make the decision on whether the development can proceed after reviewing the plans and the arguments on both sides has made 12 promotions across its employment law residential conveyancing and corporate teams Eight of the promotions are to legal director – Jennifer Rogers and Charlotte Barron in litigation Farida Isaji and Victoria Cross in

Owner John de Bruyne wants to create 87 two-bedroom flats across two buildings in the grounds of the historic hall in Maris Lane, Trumpington. The hall itself would be used as a centre for the retirement community, as well as offering meeting rooms for charities and organisations in the area. It would also house a collection of paintings with regular exhibitions and collaboration with other galleries and museums planned. Mr de Bruyne says the development would open the hall up to the community and provide funding to maintain the grade II*-listed building in perpetuity. But a report to Wednesday’s Cambridge City Council’s planning committee recommends that councillors refuse the plans from Trumpington Investments Ltd, after an objection from Historic England, which claimed the development would “harm” the hall. Previous plans for retirement flats were refused by the council last year. Some councillors said they supported the principle of retirement homes but urged that the plans were revised. It told the council: “Having considered the current, revised proposals in detail, which are very similar to those previously submitted, we maintain our in principle objection to the two new-build residential blocks on heritage grounds. “In our view any development that would encroach upon the open space to the south of the hall would cause a high level of less than substantial harm to its setting and significance.” Historic England argued it had not been demonstrated that providing central facilities for the retirement community would be the optimum use for the hall. Mr de Bruyne disagrees and points to the high costs of maintaining the hall. He stressed the idea for the hall “extends far beyond just being a club house for the elderly residents”. And he said: “The report ignores the core of the optimum viable use which is to curate and display the collection of paintings, so that Anstey Hall will function like Kettle’s Yard. “We have just appointed a professional curator who is an academic working at both Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin University, who will establish formal links with Cambridge art schools.” Council officers noted that “minor technical reasons” for the refusal of the previous application had been addressed, but said the two applications were “substantially the same”. The report said: “Whilst the proposal would provide private retirement accommodation for an ageing population, the proposed retirement blocks would consume a substantial portion of protected open space which would not be satisfactorily replaced in terms of quantity elsewhere. “Moreover, the open character of this park and garden and setting of this listed building would be significantly eroded and the setting of the city would be adversely impacted. “The proposed retirement blocks would fail to appropriately relate to the Anstey Hall in terms of their design, siting and scale and therefore have an adverse impact upon the character and appearance of Trumpington Conservation Area and the setting of the grade II*-listed building. “The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and to the setting and significance of Anstey Hall is identified as a high-level of ‘less than substantial; harm and it is not considered that the public benefits arising from the scheme would outweigh this identified harm.” Carol Anstey is ready to get to work as the Conservative MP for the Long Range Mountains even if her party doesn’t form the new government I’m hopeful that the election will turn out our way,” she told media at the Holiday Inn in Deer Lake on Monday shortly before it was declared that the Liberals would form the country’s next government Anstey knew the possibility was there that the Conservatives wouldn’t come out on top “I’m elected for the people of the Long Range Mountains riding and I’m here to serve them Anstey started out strong as the polls came in on Monday and easily held the lead over her nearest competitor Anstey had 21,939 votes (51.1 per cent) compared to Bradshaw’s 17,930 (41.8 per cent) Elections Canada says 60.89 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot — 42,910 of the riding’s 70,472 registered electors “It’s been a long time coming,” Anstey said of her win in what was her second election Despite losing to Liberal MP Gudie Hutchings in 2021 Anstey remained steadfast in her quest for the seat and because the riding had been Liberal for such a long time I sort of felt after the last election we had made some inroads and I looked at it as a success and I thought it might take a couple of elections to get the win it feels so good to be here tonight,” she said She said the extra time to campaign certainly aided in her success in this election “Because I hadn’t been involved in politics previously it took a little bit of time to get around the riding “It also gave me an opportunity to understand really what was on the minds of people in all of the different communities throughout the riding I think it was very important to have that time and I think it played a big role in my success.” Her win means the Conservatives will gain at least one seat in NL with Conservative incumbent Clifford Small in Central Newfoundland handily retaining his riding We noticed you're using an outdated browser.

46,000 clubs and 1.4m members worldwide - service organisation A break allowed guests to enjoy some Ukrainian wine tasting in the dining room hall at the house - built around 1670 on the site of a medieval manor - and study the portraits of previous owners, as well as browse the stalls where craftwork, jewellery, clothing and children’s books were on sale courtesy of Cambridge for Ukraine The owner of Anstey Hall, John De Bruyne was on hand to explain the provenance of the paintings and generously threw in a couple of wonderful anecdotes from his much-storied life - anecdotes which will hopefully appear in his much-touted memoir apparently now close to completion and already snapped up by a premier league publishing house Suffice to say there are photographs in small frames on furniture around the hall including previous guests Bill Clinton and Margaret Thatcher plus one of a much-younger then-Prince Charles being welcomed by John and the then-Mrs De Bruyne spoke movingly about the situation in Ukraine as the country faces down the Russian army with astonishing resilience and valour It was Nazer’s first visit to England and he confessed to being overwhelmed by the support and encouragement he was receiving Following a short address by Rev Ray Burman mezzo-soprano Anna Starushkevych sang an astonishingly moving version - a unique fusion or jazz and opera - of Gerschwin’s ‘Summertime’ with its agonising blues-y hope for a future triumph including the highly appropriate lines ‘One of these mornings And you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky’ The song was followed by a showing of the short film Magura, scripted and performed by Ms Starushkevych which describes the emotional turmoil that faces families and loved ones when someone goes missing in action Ukraine confirmed that 7,200 troops are missing in action since the Russian invasion in February 2022 with at least 19,000 children still missing though the actual number of children forcibly removed - many for ‘reeducation’ - from their homeland and families is believed to be much higher Looking round the rapt faces of the audience told its own story: the plight of the Ukrainian people of course appeals at a very profound level in a country which was obliged to fight at times alone against the advancing fascist front during World War Two and its elders as gathered here know that better than most because they were certainly immediately downstream of the consequences Thanks were given to those who made the evening a success Donations to UAID International here Plans for two blocks of retirement flats in the grounds of a 17th-century hall have again been rejected by Cambridge City Council Proposals were put forward by Trumpington Investments Ltd to build a new retirement village within the grounds of Anstey Hall in Maris Lane The applicant, submitted following a previous rejection in September 2023 sought permission to build two blocks of retirement properties The plans state that the hall itself would be used as a centre for the retirement community as well as offering meeting rooms for charities and organisations in the area Historic England objected to the plans claiming the development would “harm” the hall and planning officers recommended councillors reject the proposals Anstey Hall owner John de Bruyne told the council’s planning committee on Wednesday last week that he wanted to give them “150,000 reasons to approve” the development “That’s the population of your constituents and you went into local government on their behalf a community hub has come from the town and not the gown,” he said officers said: “Whilst the proposal would provide private retirement accommodation for an ageing population the proposed retirement blocks would consume a substantial portion of protected open space which would not be satisfactorily replaced in terms of quantity elsewhere the open character of this park and garden and setting of this listed building would be significantly eroded and the setting of the city would be adversely impacted.” Market) said the application had “too many loose ends” despite the previous plans to build retirement flats within the grounds being refused once already by the council last year “I don’t understand how this has got to [the] planning committee,” she said Trumpington) described the plans as disappointing “It’s almost like we shouldn’t be discussing this application today in this current form,” she said Councillors and officers said that a funded pre-application process would have improved the plans said: “It’s not possible to go against the officer’s recommendation because the scheme hasn’t overcome the problems of the last scheme it’s so similar and the last scheme wasn’t approved so why would this scheme I’m finding it really sad that it’s been so many months since the last one and it’s come back Conservative candidate Carol Anstey has been declared as winner in the Long Range Mountains Don Bradshaw was the Liberal candidate running against Anstey as incumbent Gudie Hutchings opted to step away from politics after this term. Hutchings was one of five MPs from Newfoundland & Labrador who did not seek re-election Anstey also ran for the Conservative party in the last election She is a businesswoman and real estate agent To report an error, submit a news tip, or provide feedback, please e-mail news@bayfm.ca or call (709) 637-0183.
