First look inside luxury new city center flats in former leather factory
'The Tannery' is set to open next year - with plans for a breath-taking roof garden.
_____________________________________________________________________________
She had told buyers the luxury flats are almost finished, then some months later admits several terribly upset investors had called her, she said she had been tricked and misled by the PR agents.
Cllr Joe Hanson was told of this and others in the council including the Mayor, both Cllr Hanson and then Emilia Bona from the Liverpool echo, went in total lockdown and when Emilia Bona was asked for the list of investors, she just put the phone down.
Yours faithfully,
Cole Jr

Warning - Submission of Information Requests with potentially Defamatory
Content
It is our assessment that the content of your statements within your
request are in whole or part potentially defamatory in nature, that these
identify or refer to individuals and are being published by yourself
through the use of a public website forum to third parties.
We would further advise you that the defamatory statements made by
yourself either directly or through recognised aliases and contained
within the information requests referenced above fall within the meaning
of Article 14(1)(a) of the E-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC). Under the
law of England and Wales, a defamatory statement is one which tends to
lower the claimant in the estimation of right thinking members of society
generally (Sim v Stretch [1936] 2 All ER 1237).
We would further advise that a defamatory statement is published at the
place where it is read, heard or seen, and is not where the material was
first placed on the internet. In internet cases, therefore, provided a
small number of people have access to the material on the internet in
England, the English courts will have jurisdiction to hear the claim
against a foreign defendant (Spiliada Maritime Corp v Cansulex Ltd [1987]
A.C. 460).
We would therefore advise that you take prompt action to remove or
disabled access to the Offending Webpages.
In the event that this confirmation is not received, the individuals named
directly or by implication within the above referenced information
requests and publicly displayed on the Offending Websites shall reserve
the right to issue proceedings against you seeking relief for defamation.
The remedies that may be available to the these individuals include an
injunction restraining further publication of the Offending Statement
[pending trial], damages, legal costs and interest.
This concludes our response.

respect of your Freedom of Information Act 2000 and you must submit
these in writing to [1][email address] within 28
days of receiving your response. The matter will be dealt with by an
officer who was not previously involved with the response and we will look
to provide a response within 40 days.
If you remain dissatisfied you may also apply to the Information
Commissioner for a decision about whether the request for information has
been dealt with in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
