Hi
My sister is a director as part of a housing management company where she is amongst 6 directors who are also owners of flats in the same building.
She is currently out of the country and has previously suddenly found a court judgment issued against her for costs owed including legal fees. She had not received an original summons and none had been sent to the address listed in Companies House for her under this directorship.
One of the other directors has been quite spiteful and although she is aware of my sister’s email address has now engaged a lawyer for recovery of a further amount plus legal fees which my sister has not previously been notified about.
I am wondering about the following:
1- is there any way to find out if any court summons has been issued to avoid a repeat of what happened last time? I am unsure which address this may have been sent to.
2- should the other directors have evidence that a notice of bills has been received or is it reasonable to expect that they would at least try to email my sister about any outstanding bills before involving a lawyer and make her liable for legal costs?
3- My sister has another directorship for which a virtual office is used (for which she does not collect the correspondence while abroad as she only ever receives marketing/ junk mail). This virtual address is not the one listed for her for the housing management company in Companies House. As such, would the other director be deemed to have given her notice if she had sent a letter to the virtual address rather than that listed for her in Companies House under this specific directorship?
This is causing her quite a lot of anxiety as she feels the other director is trying to deliberately drive her out.
many thanks.
