bank to carry out development work. The work began in early 2005 and on its completion in June 2006 the property was transferred back to the Craven Walk trustees. The Defendants say that all this was a charitable purpose within the powers of the YLJT Trustees to promote and that although there were some issues as to whether that charity’s accounts had correctly recorded these events, the charity itself suffered no loss as the cost of the loan it raised for others was repaid by Craven Walk Trust. This particular transaction has relevance to the core events in dispute as the Claimant says he was solicited by the First Defendant to make a payment in December 2004 in order to repay a bank loan and overdraft related to this expenditure. The Claimant further alleges that the YLJT improperly divested itself of this asset in breach of the freezing order granted by the rabbinical court. 17. YLJT maintained bank accounts in the UK in sterling and dollars. In Israel the Israel charity maintained bank accounts in US dollars, UK sterling and Israeli shekels. The undisputed evidence suggested that US dollars was at the material time considered a more stable currency than Israeli shekels, and that a better rate of exchange from sterling into US dollars could be obtained by the transfer mechanisms the charity had established in the UK. 18. At the hearing of this action the court heard from the Claimant, his assistant Mr. Hochauser, the translator Mr. Greenblatt, and the Trust’s business agent in Israel Mr. Fisher. I received a late statement of Rabbi Wosner and admitted it under the Civil Evidence Act 1968 as he was reluctant to appear before a civil court. There was a substantial conflict of evidence between the Claimant and the First Defendant about the nature of the transactions, the meaning of the agreement and the subsequent history. In this judgment references to the UK charity or the Trust are references to the YLJT. The earlier transaction 19.

The YLJT Quick Report Accounts for donations for the period from 1st September to 1st March 2005 revealed that on the 4 th October 2004, the sum of £200,000 was transferred to YLJT by one David Wineman. 20. Mr. Weiss’s witness statement of the 2nd January 2008 explains the background (vol 1/316/22): “The UK Charity was overdrawn. Some months earlier, an individual had given the UK Charity a loan for £100,000 as the UK Charity was in desperate need of funds to send to the Israel Charity”. This money was assigned by Mr. Weiss to the donations ledger of the charity with the name of the donor recorded as “david weinman”. The underlying bank statement showed that the money had come from David Wineman Client’s Account. Mr. Weiss had slightly inaccurately transcribed the name to “Weinman”. 21. David Wineman was a solicitor instructed by the Claimant in connection with his property transactions and those of the businesses with which the Claimant was associated. It should thus have been apparent to the Claimant from the disclosure documents that the Defendants were effectively asserting that the Claimant had
