It is the Welsh Government senior official with responsibility for managing the TVR account, who attends meetings. We have no voting rights at the company Board meetings but the person attending can make informal observations, though it is not within the remit of the role of the observer to make an active contribution in any decision making. The main function of the observer is to monitor discussions. Prior to committing to the share purchase, we commissioned commercial and legal due diligence from the Automotive Sector Team within KPMG, Hugh James Solicitors and also received advice from Finance Wales, drawing on their broad experience of this type of transaction.

  • The Test of Remoteness. at First Sight Wellesley Partners LLP V Withers
    TWO IMPORTANT CASES WELLESLEY PARTNERS LLP – the test of remoteness. At first sight Wellesley Partners LLP v Withers LLP [2015] EWCA Civ 1146 is “just another slightly dreary solicitors’ negligence case where attributing fault and assessing damages depended on a combination of close fact-specific analysis and a certain amount of educated guesswork”. The words are not mine, they are those of Professor Tettenborn. However, the learned Professor considers that the case gave rise to two interesting points of law, which it did. It is those I wish to look at briefly. As we all know in very many cases the live issues in professional negligence claims are as much involved with causation and damage as they are with breach of duty and this was a case which resolves important issues which have the potential to impact on a number of claims in the area. The facts of Wellesley can be set out very briefly. Wellesley was a successful firm of head-hunters or as they preferred “executive placement consultants”. It was based in London albeit that one of the founding partners had spun off a business in Hong Kong. In order to facilitate growth it wished to expand the membership of the LLP. One of the new members was to be a middle eastern based bank: ADDAX. The defendant solicitors were engaged to amend the LLP agreement but in doing so, as the trial judge 1 held, mis-drafted the same so that ADDAX could withdraw its money prematurely which, following the Lehman Brothers collapse, it duly did. One of the largest elements of alleged loss related to an allegation that the business had been deprived of the opportunity to open a New York office and to obtain a contract with Nomura which was reconstructing the Lehman Brother business of which it had purchased part.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.
