Confidential - Our client: Adrian Norin

Mon Oct 1 21:00:35 BST 2018

Dear Nkolika,

Nanni makes some very valid points. 

I am a little concerned by the wording that you highlighted Nkolika. I am personally not comfortable with some of the statements. Especially in the first paragraph. 

I agree that we can state fact, we can explain the nature of his stay in the property, but that is about it. To add any financial valuation to his stay would be foolish, and as Nanni stated, this ‘value’ was agreed privately between the two companies - it is also a matter of argument in the whole ‘cost of maintaining Mr Norin’s ‘live-in’ role which contributed to his redundancy. I think it is a subject best avoided!

I know that this may sound harsh but I think what we have proposed in your original draft fulfils the requirement of the settlement agreement, and we should not be drawn into making any further statements for the sake of trying to help. I am sure there are other properties available to rent, available at short notice, and within their means. Isn’t this part of why we elevated our financial compensation as part of the agreement? My experience of the London rental market is that opportunities arise daily and one must act fast to secure them. I am surprised that in all these months this is the only reference (property or employment) that we have been asked to give. 

I look forward to your further recommendations in the morning. 

Kind regards, 

Peter

The tenancy fees agreed fluctuated in the years accordingly to factors that have nothing to do with the salary paid to the porter. Again, stating what has been proposed would be false.

>> Dear All,
>>  
>> Please find attached amended reference wording that I have received from Mr Norin’s solicitor.
>>  
>> You will note that it is still Mr Norin’s intention to leave the flat which is a positive, however having read the attached wording I have a few misgivings (highlighted in yellow) which I am sure you will share, but may be of the view that if it means he can vacate the flat then so be it.
>>  
>> Given my misgivings I am liaising further with my colleague that has property experience and also with my tax colleague around the flat being deemed a benefit that was taken in to account on the salary. The problem with this though is that both colleagues have now left the office and will not be back in until first thing tomorrow.
>>  
>> My concerns are primarily around the fact that both Mr Norin and his girlfriend were not necessarily ‘tenants’ in the normal sense of the word. It will of course be a matter for you to decide whether you are happy to confirm that they were good tenants and you had no issue with them.
>>  
>> The other point is about it being a benefit factored in to the salary, again I am keen not to state something that simply was not true for the tax reasons I stated earlier. However, if my tax colleague can assure me this should not be an issue I will relay the same advices to you all.

>>  
>> You will appreciate that Adrian and his family are in a really difficult situation.  They want to leave One Warrington Gardens but this may be rendered impossible if they are not accepted by the new landlord for the property they have agreed to rent.  I understand that there is no question about Adrian being a good employee and him and his family being good tenants.  It would therefore seem to be in everyone’s interest for Adrian to be assisted in making his move out of One Warrington Gardens.  To that end I attach an amended version of the landlords reference.   
>>  
>> I trust that the contents of this are acceptable and that it can be sent asap so that Adrian’s move can get back on track.
