A businessman who has made a series of courtroom allegations against a top Manchester law firm has lost his latest legal battle. Abbey Solicitors and former client David Rose, 58, a residential and commercial landlord from Prestwich, are involved in a series of claims and counter claims at the High Court in Manchester.
In their latest courtroom battle, a judge has sided with a Abbey 'paralegal' Nick Henesy in a row over land deal in Stockport, and dismissed allegations by Mr Rose that he is the victim of 'a scheme that has been perpetrated against him'. Last year the Manchester Evening News reported Abbey was facing High Court allegations it failed Mr Rose over a £1m land deal in Broughton Park.
Court papers alleged Mr Henesy - said to be working under the supervision of the law firm's owner and founder Nadeem Ullah - lodged a 'deed of priority' which effectively diverted funds into a company Mr Henesy controlled. Mr Rose alleged only £200,000 was ever paid and that he has lost almost £800,000 on the deal.
