Ben has just been told by a source within the 'Law society ' that apparently
They just want Ben Gilroy and Charlie Allen in Jail !
The bluntly idiotic substance of Mr. Mead’s argument explains the unnecessarily complicated manner in which it was presented. OPCA(Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments ) arguments are never sold to their customers as simple ideas, but instead are byzantine schemes which more closely resemble the plot of a dark fantasy novel than anything else. Latin maxims and powerful sounding language are often used. Documents are often ornamented with many strange marking and seals. Litigants engage in peculiar, ritual‑like in court conduct. All these features appear necessary for gurus to market OPCA schemes to their often desperate, ill‑informed, mentally disturbed, or legally abusive customers. This is crucial to understand the non-substance of any OPCA concept or strategy. The story and process of a OPCA scheme is not intended to impress or convince the Courts, but rather to impress the guru’s customer.[9] [emphasis in original]
The individuals involved in this trust have generally been seen as 'well-meaning' but misguided and naive.
After being asked by a number of clients about the Charles Allen Trust, I met with representatives of the Trust in late July.
I believe that the representatives are well meaning (in respect of borrowers!), and wish to help vulnerable people. transfers etc. (Some transfers would trigger substantial VAT liabilities on behalf of the borrower.)

In this thread, for one.
Maybe it's just Jim and Hoagy that see owners of stud farms as 'vulnerable'.
A quasi-spiritual trust has moved to assert control over a lucrative portfolio of properties signed into its care, by telling receivers and auctioneers to vacate the lands or face hundreds of millions of euro in claims.
The move has come as a High Court bench warrant was issued against the organiser of the Rodolphus Allen Trust, which says it has accepted €2bn worth of assets from up to 2,000 struggling debtors.
AODHAN O'FAOLAIN AND RAY MANAGH – 28 SEPTEMBER 2013
A BENCH warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man who along with a number of others is alleged to have trespassed on and illegally occupied a stud farm.

Mr Justice Sean Ryan yesterday ruled that Charles Allen should be arrested and brought before the High Court.
He must answer claims that he is in contempt of court orders in respect of 120 acres of land at Kennycourt Stud, Naas, Co Kildare.
Landscape gardener Mr Allen is a leading figure behind the Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust, a group set up with the aim of putting assets beyond the reach of banks seeking repossession.
The trust claims to have €2bn worth of property, including homes, farms and businesses. People who sign up to the trust lease the property back from it for a nominal sum, thereby giving them the use of the asset.
However, legal experts have warned that the trust is unlikely to succeeded in preventing repossessions.
In proceedings brought by joint receivers appointed over Kennycourt Stud in 2011, it is claimed that Mr Allen, along with stud-farm owner Eugene McDermott and anti-eviction activist Ben Gilroy, have breached orders not to trespass or interfere with the receivership.
Receivers Mark Reynolds and Glenn Crann claim that all three are involved with "a mob" who last month forced the receivers' agents off the stud farm.
The receivers were kept off the property, which they want to sell, until Wednesday of this week when they retook possession.
Two weeks ago, the High Court ordered that Mr Gilroy and Mr McDermott be arrested and brought before the bench to answer their alleged contempt. Those warrants have yet to be executed.
A similar application in respect of Mr Allen was adjourned to yesterday's sitting of the court to allow the receivers' lawyers to serve him with legal papers about the case.
Last Monday, Mr Allen was personally served with all the relevant legal documentation at a Co Wexford hotel, the court heard.
Barrister for the receivers, Michael Howard, said the action arose after a mob of more than 100 people led by Mr Allen and Mr Gilroy took possession of the stud farm on August 31.
Mr Allen, he said, was photographed cutting locks placed by the receivers' security staff on gates at the stud farm.
FABRICATION
Counsel said Mr Allen stated that the farm was now the property of the Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust. He told the court the trust was a "legal fabrication" that granted signatories a 999-year lease over the same properties.
Mr Gilroy, of Navan, Co Meath, a candidate in last March's Meath East by-election; Mr Allen, with addresses at Thomastown and Inistioge, Co Kilkenny; and Mr McDermott, of Kennycourt Stud, have not attended court since the action was initiated by the receivers.
Mr Justice Ryan said there was no question in his mind that Mr Allen had been served with the relevant legal documentation.
He said he was also satisfied that Mr Allen was aware proceedings had been brought against him by the receivers.
The judge ordered that Mr Allen be arrested and brought before the court to answer the claim that he has breached court orders.
Irish Independent
An arrest warrant has been issued for Charles Allen.
BUT In the Threads I pick up that these (freemen) are acting in good faith.Normally good-faith people have a point.
.
I don't know about this, that freeman are acting in good faith.
In any case good faith people can make a right mess of things, by offering people false hope, by confusing them, by being deceitful, by catering to the desparation of those in trouble.
Allan is making a lot of money from the 'trust' if his 'figures' on the number who have subscribed can be believed. Is Gilroy the one who was renting his apartment and pocketing the rent while paying the bank zero, or have I got the wrong man? Who is McDermot?
The lad pocketing the rent and using rent-a-mob to stop the repossession was Eugene Dooley
Gilroy is the fella who ... has'nt paid his mortgage in over 2 years so his accommodation is currently paid for by the Irish taxpayer
