(1) Midland Premier Properties & anr (Appellants) v Doal & ors (Respondents) (2) Midland Premier Properties & anr (Appellants) v Doal & ors (Respondents)
Tuesday 27 – Wednesday 28 January 2026
(1) By an Appellant’s Notice filed on 30 October and sealed on 31 October 2024, the Appellants appeal the Business and Property Courts in Birmingham’s order of 13 September 2024, which struck out their Defence under an Unless Order and denied relief from sanctions; alternatively, the Judge struck out the Defence.
The Respondent claims that a loan agreement was entered into on 24 January 2020, whereby the Respondent loaned the First Appellant £1.5 million to acquire a development property.
The Respondent claimed the loan was made as part of a deal which would see the Respondent share in the profit made from disposal of the property. It was the Respondent’s case that the Appellants participated in a scheme to dispose of its interest in the property for no consideration. The Respondent claimed the Appellants had conspired to induce a breach of the agreement.
(2) By Appellant’s Notice filed on 13 February 2025, the order dated 24 December 2024 with permission granted by order dated 23 January 2025.
This matter is linked to the Appeal above and arises from the same dispute.
