The liquidators of medical technology firm Enigma Diagnostics Ltd allege that British entrepreneur Harvey Boulter used its money for his own benefit, including making a payment to a supercar manufacturer.
Charles Cook, head of DLA Piper’s UK corporate team, is also named as a defendant in the suit. Cook was the only lawyer “substantively involved” in handling Enigma for the law firm and his name appeared on related documents from as early as 2005, the lawsuit alleged.
That breached rules governing how law firm accounts should be used, and also contravened Boulter’s responsibilities as a director of Enigma, argued the liquidators. Boulter’s UK lawyers at Kobre & Kim declined to comment on the civil suit. A Namibian lawyer for Boulter declined to comment on the criminal case.
