sentencing.
Councillor Dominic Boeck, West Berkshire's Executive Member for Trading Standards said, "This was a very
complicated case but importantly, it establishes the principle that companies operating in these sectors
cannot mislead and lie to people whilst asking them to hand over potentially large sums of money. The
Council will be asking the relevant Government department what more can be done to protect the interests of
potential beneficiaries in circumstances like this. It simply is not right to ask people to sign a contract knowing
little or none of the salient facts while being misled about the other party's knowledge."
