This is a very long winded request for some views/advice so i will try break it down to simple form.
Company1 lends me money for project and provides part of it then breaches contract.
Financial adviser (seperate company) gives misleading advice to arrange loan from above. Then leaves to go work for above.
Company sues borrower to repay funds (ongoing)
Financial adviser company goes into liquidation.
Borrower sues Financial Adviser company for (professional negligence) right of releif from payment due to lender by borrower and decree granted for £xxx 000 ( they dont defend action infact they ignored it completely and didnt have any representation)
Liquidator of Financial Adviser company states no assets but professsional indemnity policy was in place with £XX 000 excess
Insurer of Financial Adviser company make offer less insurance policy excess which is a substantially reduced amount to repay back lender. In effect the borrower does not get just rewards of releif to repay borrower and theres a shortfall where lender wont accept that amount, in any case borrower is counter claiming lender for breach of contract for providing only part of contractual amount and pulled the plug, i wont go into that just now as its very complicated, lets just say the financial adviser was his x employee and then became lenders employee again after he duped borrower to sign contract with lender.
My question is
Is there any way or route to claim the excess the insurer claims was on the Financial Advisers professional indemnity policy? The company has no money as told by liquidator but is their any government or any other type of insurance recovery scheme in place for this type of thing? It just seems the borrower even though they win their case they will be the one to lose out if the lender were to win their case, even though this is highly unlikely.
Ps. Why would a lender sue for reposession of a property to repay the money and also for the sum of money owed? Its not a trick question they are infact claiming both in the writ.
Thanks
