Mr Justice Soole never judged at all
March 31, 2026
It is as outrageous as the headline suggests, hoodwinked of the equitable interest in the property. Over £353,000 was transferred out of the Customer’s account, apparently under instruction of Barclays Bank PLC lawyers, without notice, but long after the sale completed.
Perseus Ventures Limited (“PVL”) , a British Virgin Islands based property company, took out a loan with Barclays Bank PLC in 2011, secured over its London riverside property, 94 Rope Street, Surrey Quays.
Here’s the Land Registry official record obtained on 22 May 2025, showing the property was sold for £841,000 on 5 September 2024;
The official Land Registry extract – 94 Rope Street London, SE16 7TF
The balance of the loan owed to Barclays was £456,547.63. So, any owner would have surely expected to have received at least £374,452 net proceeds of sale, allowing £10,000 legal fees and disbursements for completion of the sale.
In the hands of Barclays Bank PLC and their lawyers, Addleshaw Goddard LLP, PVL received not a single penny. It was given with one hand, taken back with the other. You would have to see it to believe it, and here it is…
Barclays Bank PLC fraudulent accounting statement of 23 May 2025
By 5 September 2024 the mortgage was redeemed. The sale could not complete unless the first charge was relinquished.
Logic obviously determines that no bank can relinquish the charge unless the money has been received to redeem the secured loan. No lender can relinquish a charge, allowing the land / property to be transferred to a third party’s ownership, unless the loan is first redeemed (repaid).
Below, we exhibit the statement provided to PVL by Ms O’Callaghan of Addleshaw Goddard LLP, solicitors acting for the Bank, in her email of 27 May 2025:
Bizarrely, on 23 May 2025 Barclays Bank PLC and its lawyers, were falsely representing that PVL’s property sold for just £353,576.73 and in conjunction, they failed to tell PVL they had sold its property, whilst failing to have provided any form of accounting, or completion statement.
PVL only found out the property was sold on 12 March 2025, when it received the Barclays Bank PLC statement showing that the Bank’s lawyers, Addleshaw Goddard LLP had transferred the net proceeds of sale to its bank account. We exhibit that statement below:
Barclays-statement-28-02-2025-PVL
On 22 May 2025, PVL then obtained the Land Registry records to establish that the property was in fact sold on 5 September 2024.
The Barclays statement of 23 May 2025 stated the final redemption balance of the loan was £456,457.63.
So, the Bank and their lawyers had retained at the very least, £353,000, PVL’s net proceeds of sale!
Knowingly false representations by Addleshaw Goddard LLP solicitors acting for Barclays Bank PLC
We are alleging that Addleshaw Goddard LLP and is clients have been assisted by unscrupulous members of the judiciary who act as their ‘agents’, as they do for other magic circle law firms and barrister’s chambers, covering up fraudulent acts to ensure secrecy and concealment.
Victims seeking restitution for fraud are persistently denied justice, and there is no proper regulation, rather, there is purported regulation.
However, all regulated solicitors in the UK must abide by the SRA Core Duties, including these professional undertakings:
“Do Not Mislead (Paragraph 1.4): You must not mislead or attempt to mislead others, including the court, by act or omission.”
SRA Principle 5 requires regulated solicitors to act with integrity. While someone acting dishonestly can be said to be acting without integrity, the concept of integrity is wider than just acting dishonestly, meaning it’s possible to behave without integrity, whilst not necessarily being dishonest.

Email from Addleshaw Goddard LLP acting for Barclays Bank PLC of 27 May 2025
The email from Rebecca O’Callaghan and Tim Cooper of Addleshaw Goddard LLP to PVL of 27 May 2025 falsely representing that the Bank is owed money.
It was all so ‘normal per the usual course of business’ that on 11 March 2025 when they said they transferred the money out of PVL’s account, there was obviously no loan to credit!
Similarly, no bank is going to relinquish security, without first receiving the balance of the outstanding loan.
The unique 8-digit number can only plausibly have been born after completion of sale on 5 September 2024
The financial irregularity does not get any more obvious than this.
The unique 8-digit sum (£102,970.90) is equated by deducting the sum of the PVL embezzled net proceeds of sale (£353,576.73) from the outstanding Barclays Bank PLC loan of £456,547.63.
Naturally therefore, there are greater than lottery odds of that 8-digit unique number arising prior to the sale of 94 Rope Street. Both ingredients, needed to have come together, and one was only conceived after 5 September 2024.
Barclays Bank PLC fraudulent accounting – A purported loan of 31 January 2022 in the sum of £102,970.90!
It appears to us, what happened was acting with Master Brown, allegedly an agent for Addleshaw Goddard LLP of the King’s Bench Division, they hatched a plan in conspiracy, to embezzle the sale proceeds owed to PVL.
Part of that plan entailed an (alleged) EXTORTION ATTEMPT by Master Brown, who made an UNLESS ORDER on 5 June 2025 demanding that PVL paid the sum of over £100,000 upfront, whilst pretending that BARCLAYS BANK PLC and ADDLESHAW GODDARD LLP had not EMBEZZLED at least £353,576.73.
On 5 June 2025, Master Brown knew or ought to have known that the Defendants were retaining PVL’s net proceeds of sale, more than sufficient to cover security and any genuinely incurred costs.
It appears to have been Master Brown, or ‘Agent Brown’s more like, intent, to put up the extortionate unreasonable demand, solely as a means of defeating the ends of justice, preventing justice being served on the allegedly bent Addleshaw Goddard LLP lawyers, Barclays Bank PLC and their LPA Receivers who failed to receive.
Master Brown DEFEATED THE CLAIM by REMOVING DEFENDANTS and LISTED IT FOR A HEARING AT THE BACK END OF DECEMBER 2026!
Of course, nobody, and that includes PVL, is going to put up over £100,000 for costs security when the opposition are retaining over £350,000, and even less are the chances after Master Brown defeated the claim he purported to list for trial, after removing the defendants!
The particulars of the PVL claim were never touched on. Rather, the claim was ‘automatically struck out’ mid last year, because PVL did not pay the Defendants in accord with the extortion demand by Master Brown.
Barclays Bank PLC created false accounting statements purporting that PVL took out a loan on 31 January 2022
False loan no. 1:
Barclays Bank PLC false accounting loan of 9 May 2025
False loan no. 2:
Barclays Bank PLC false accounting loan of 30 June 2025
False loan no. 3:
Barclays Bank PLC false accounting loan of 29 August 2025
Why did the Bank create 3 false loans?
Why would a bank have created one to start with?
Why did the lawyers fail to provide any accounting information or completion statement to PVL?
