Samuel North alleged owner of Muse On Allen – interview and comments.
Samuel North was interviewed on Concrete playground
We would like to set the record straight by providing facts .
Yup okay that was impressively disastrous. You’ve certainly picked up from there though, you established this place at 21, which is ridiculously young, what gave you the confidence to do that?
SN: My parents gave me really good support, they’ve supported me the whole way through it. Especially my dad, he’s been in business before and really wanted me to do this I think. Probably not so young though. I could have waited a few more years but I was just too keen, too eager to own my own place, even if it was going to be something else. This place actually wasn’t even supposed to be a restaurant – I just wanted to have a bar but it turned out completely differently.
Reality
The chattels of Muse on Allen were purchased using Jozsefs money . this is a copy of the sale and purchase agreement as can be seen the place was purchased for $90.000 of which $70,000 was funds which Jozsef introduced see here ( all enlarge on clicking )
In return Jozsef received a 70 % share holding
Samuel $30 % based on the fact that HE was getting a loan from his parents and girlfriend as can be seen Samuel’s total investment into Muse on Allen which he claims he owns is a staggering $10,000 from his bonus bonds.
What was behind that huge need to h ave your own place?
SN: I just really hated working for people to be honest. I hated getting told what to do all the time. It was driving me crazy. I was just like fuck, what am I doing? I just wanted to do my own thing.
Reality
yes the reality is that this statement is true and it would appear that this dislike of being told what to do extended to working with some one who has just purchased the chattels for the business . How true “I just wanted to do my own thing.”
Starting a business so young, was it kind of hard to get people to take you seriously?
SN: Yeah it was really hard, especially in the first year. I’d hired all these young people who were like fuck it, he’s 21 what the fuck does he know? It made me realise that I needed to be hiring the right people who were going to support me and who wanted to listen to me. I find that actually hiring older and more mature is better. I’ve got a lot of older staff now. They’re still in their like, thirties and twenties and stuff but they are passionate about the restaurant, the food and the service.
Reality
From what we have seen the person who was calling all the shots in the restaurant was Malcolm North, he was calling all the shots even before he was made a director. the scenario goes Samuel and Jozsef were directors. Samuel gets his mother Debbie North , to be an alternate director she completes her own forms ( which is actually a no no ) and uploads this to the companies register and back dates it to the date of the company formation.
They now use this as a two votes to one directorship and use this to reduce Jozsefs share holding without any new capital going into the business and without any consent from Jozsef. what they did is totally against the companies act .
It is in reality Malcolm and Debbie who were directors with Samuel in the first year after passing resolutions in private to get Jozsef out .
In a herald article –Your Business: Young Entrepreneurs Samuel North is reported as saying
The founder and head chef of Wellington-based restaurant Muse on Allen worked and saved hard for six years, and got a loan from his parents and help from his partner to set up the restaurant, which last year took out a top culinary prize – the Visa Wellington on a Plate Award.
Reality
As we have shown earlier the opening accounts of Muse on Allen , they are evidence that Samuel put in $10,000.
Samuel Norths statement above is correct but it conveniently leaves out the $70,000 investment of his business partner who was then in our opinion and no doubt in the opinion of any right thinking person “ shafted.”
The financial accounts for Muse on Allen show the Loans from his parents and Anabel Torrejos and the share holding of Jozsef but the companies records up until May this year showed Samuel as the only share holder. After that date they brought in Janine Corke a strategist of Corum Limited just days after she became a director Jozsef was sued in the district court .
The shares Samuel North held were effectively stolen from Jozsef and were never legally transferred and have certainly never been compensated for – there is no other way of saying but it is Fraud at the worst and a serious breach of the companies act at the least
Muse on Allen opened in September three months later Jozsef was kicked out and they blamed him for the company not being profitable.. show us a company which is profitable after 3 months .
Now Malcolm North on behalf of Muse on Allen is suing Jozsef for the losses in what is reported in the press to be a ” very successful ” business owned and operated by Samuel North , so successful that the company is claiming to be insolvent see Statement of Claim. Goes to show that even after three years the company is still running at a loss despite all the glowing press reports which say it is full night after night.. but then that is the power of advertising and a different story .
Malcolm North supplied free of privilege the end of year accounts which clearly show that Jozsef is a share holder and has been totally alienated from the company which Samuel pretends that it is his own- even issuing a trespass notice against Jozsef. annual accounts
False allegations are now being made of contempt of court this is because lies have a way of getting tangled and drive desperate people to making desperate accusations.
Samuel and Malcolm you could try paying Jozsef back his money and his costs that you have trumped up through delay tactics.
Let us look at the future by being responsible with regard to what you have done in the past , what you have done to Jozsef is not right .
We also include the some real feed back with Samuel North’s responses which we captured before it was removed .. they speak for themselves..click to enlarge they originate from Trip advisor
Malcolm North Director of Muse on Allen responds
Our post MUSE ON ALLEN we reveal the secret to Samuel North’s success. Has met with total acceptance of Malcolm and Samuel North but no so of the lawyer for Muse on Allen .
Despite knowing where our information came from the lawyers for the company are making allegations of Contempt of court when there is no way in the world that we have had access to the documents which were provided for discovery.
Malcolm North on the other hand has been freely distributing the accounts and then claims that we are breaching court orders when the documents he has provided have not been given with any privilege attached .
this post has been amended when the lawyers made threats of defamation because they did not like the fact that we pointed out that we were not in contempt of court and took issue with these false allegations.
The lawyer is now putting pressure on Jozsef to get these posts taken down. Truth and transparency appears not to suit them
We are taking this action because Jozsef is a share holder of Muse on Allen and they allege that he has been removed from the register in ” error’ We believe that if you have made an error and you have identified it then you correct the error.
the company records have been updated at lest 6 times since alleging that Jozsefs name has been removed in ” error’ so why is his name not back on the register ?????
Any way it appears that Malcolm and Samuel agree with the posts here is a communication with Malcolm and some feed back which Sam has seen fit to remove from Trip advisor

This is the real secret to opening your very own restaurant. its called other peoples money .
In our professional opinion it is fraud when you get a person to invest in a company they are the majority share holder and then you move all their shares into the name of a person who makes a living off the company . At the same time the majority share holder is excluded and is sued for the losses incurred by the company.
to put the icing on the cake the losses include the purchase of a 2007 BMW which the person who has no share capital in the company but who has claimed all the shares as his own, uses as his own .

Good Morning Michaela
I refer you to the latest post on Transparency New Zealand . Open letter to the minister of small business
I also advise the court that Mr xxxxxxxxx is willfully misdirecting the court as per His honour Justice Collins minute the documents which were provided under rule 8.30 (4) are held in the offices of Duncan Cotterill . They have not been made available to me .
The documents on Transparency were provided by me and as shown in the attachment that Mr xxxxxxxx attached to his legal secretaries affidavit the documents came from the following sources
Page 1. Direct from the plaintiff he had this document in his possessing from the time he purchased the assets.
Page 2 this is available on line from the companies office free of charge and available to the public
Page 3 this is a copy of a document which Jozsef has had in his possession from a date prior to the court proceedings .
Page 4 -10 these are available on line from the companies office free of charge and available to the public
Page 11-54 . these are the documents for the district court proceedings in Which Muse on Allen , whichis currently in liquidating court took against Jozsef for the losses which were incurred in the company based on the 63.4% share holding which the SOC alleged he has , being the majority shares in Muse On Allen the very shares which were unlawfully transferred by Samuel north from Jozsef to himself.
Page 55 a document available through the land transport register
I have repeatedly made Mr xxxxxxxxx aware that the documents did not come from discovery in the high court and indeed it is self evident that they were served free of confidentiality By Malcolm North in the district court .
I appreciate that this may not be convenient for Mr Abricrossow but he should not be using his office to conceal fraud and the evidence is obvious that a fraud has occurred in that Jozsefs shares have been deceitfully removed and withheld using the court.
I remind Mr xxxxxxxxxx that he should be acting in accordance with Section 4 of the lawyers and conveyancers act.
We have not breached the discovery in the high court and it is an abuse of process form Mr xxxxxxxxxx that allege that .

Abuse of Companies act – Muse on Allen Limited- request for ministerial investigation
Open letter to Craig Foss Minister of small business
Good Morning Minster
I am approaching you in your capacity as minster for small business and wish to bring to your attention a major flaw which I have identified in the enforcement of the companies act with regards to small businesses.
We appear to have entered a phase where economics are considered before justice and this is distinctly in favour of those who breach the provisions of the companies act.
I am a licenced Private Investigator / Former long serving police and prosecuting sergeant . Earlier this year a young man approached me when his lawyers advised him that after spending $50,000 with them to seek justice it would take another $42,000 to get the matter to trial and since it appeared that the company was insolvent there was no point in pursuing the matter .
In brief the circumstances are my client Jozsef Gabor SZEKELY and Samuel Raymond North are chefs, together they purchased a restaurant for $90,000 they set up a company called Muse on Allen Limited and were 70/30 share holders .
Jozsef is an immigrant to New Zealand . Samuels Father, Malcolm North is an Employment Broker for the ministry of Social Development. Malcolm helped and supported the two boys in getting the business started but it now appears that as far as Jozsef was concerned there as an ulterior motive, that was to provide his son with a company financed by some one else.
Samuel gave the company key to his mother she used this to appointed herself as director and backdated this to the companies date of formation.
Samuel reduced Jozsef’s shares to 49% , then appointed his father as director, removed Jozsef and finally transferring all the shares into his own name. this was all done contrary to the act and without the injection of more share capital
This occurred in January 2013 less than 6 months after the company was formed. Jozsef immediately went to see lawyers . It was correctly identified as fraud but could not get the police to take a complaint .
The lawyers took the matter to court under section 174 of the companies act and Jozsef spent most of his time earning money to pay the lawyers.
Malcolm represented the company in court and even posed as though he was counsel this caused Jozsef’s expenses with the lawyers to go out of hand .
The company would not give Jozsef any of the documents which a shareholder is rightfully entitled to but they were released to Jozsef’s lawyers under confidentiality and copies remain in their office and no duplicates have been released.
When the lawyers withdrew Jozsef approached me, I attempted to get the registrar to correct the on line register based on a set of accounts which we had obtained outside the discovery process.
The registrar however would not act as they claimed that redress was available through the courts .
I acted as a Mc Kenzie friend for Jozsef and supported him in representing himself in court ,the matter was to have been set down for a formal proof hearing but now the company has engaged counsel ( instructed by the very directors who have breached the companies act in so many ways ) and it is set for a three day trial in September on the matter of Jozsef being a disadvantaged shareholder.
In early June we were advised By Malcolm North that the former lawyers for the company have taken the company to liquidation court and the company could be wound up before the hearing.
Jozsef has not only lost his $64,000 investment in the company but has paid $50,000 in an attempt to have his rights enforced.
The final straw came when the company sued Jozsef on 19 June in the district court for the losses which the directors have incurred in the company since unlawfully removing Josef’s shareholding .
The whole purpose of a limited liability company is that the losses are limited to that of the shareholders equity yet Jozsef now finds himself burdened with a second set of court proceedings.
So we now have an ironic situation where by Josef’s shareholding has been removed from him and he is being held responsible for losses in the company due to being a share holder
I have prepared and filed an extensive complaint with the registry integrity , there are some 30 serious companies act offences which the directors and their associates have committed. Yet in again a parallel move they are attempting to hold Jozsef for contempt of court for allegedly using the accounts and the documents which have never been copied or been outside his lawyers office .
The entire process has been total bullying and abuse .
Those who invest in NZ companies should not be subjected to this lunacy, it destroys confidence in small business and shows that there is a major flaw in the system which allows people to effectively steal shareholders equity and use it for their own means. The law is there to protect persons such as Jozsef and ot should be affordable and expedient.
Samuel North has a deficit of shareholders equity in the company yet drives around in a late model BMW vehicle owned by the company while the only person to have invested in the company is being hammered in the court
We request urgent intervention in this matter where by the registrar seeks to hold the company and its directors accountable to the act.
We need a system which prevents this type of scenario from repeating .
In the interest of public confidence in small business ,we hope that you can open a ministerial enquiry into this matter so that this cannot happen again.
I am happy to supply the complaint to the registrar and the evidence on your request .
Regards
Grace Haden
MUSE ON ALLEN we reveal the secret to Samuel North’s success.
Muse On Allen Restaurant – Food that inspires and a secret that does not amuse
Restaurateur Samuel North has been in the news many times , each time there is a common thread and that is – he is identified as- the youngest chef in Wellington to have his own restaurant .
Transparency New Zealand will today examine the truth behind that statement and others which we have located in the news.
For convenience we have prepared a file with the relevant documents they can be found here samuel north evidence ( most of the originals of these documents are available on the companies register , the others have been filed in the Wellington district court with the exception of the car registration which comes from the on line register)
Page 1 this is the sale and purchase agreement the lawyer involved for Muse on Allen was the North’s own lawyer .The company was set up with two directors and two share holders Jozsef Gabor SZEKELY who owned 70 % of the company page 2 and Samuel Raymond NORTH who owned 30% of the company .
Malcolm North was involved from day one and took charge, he drew up a Partnership agreement and as can be seen Samuel’s total contributions was to be $10,000 as opposed to Jozsef who invested $65,000 .page 3
Jozsef understood that all would be equal partners but that was not to be, as it was later revealed that every one except Jozsef introduced their money into the company by way of loans . Jozsef on the other hand was recognized in the accounts as a share holder .
Debbie North Samuel’s mother requested to be an alternate director for her son instead she completed her own directors documents and uploaded them on to the companies site back dating them to the date of the companies formation Pages 4 &5
On 3 November 2012 the dominion post published a review of the restaurant Muse on Allen: Food fit for the gods
On 19 December 2012 Samuel without complying with the required legislation and without any share holder transfer documents reduced Jozsefs 70% share holding to 49% Page 6.
Another great review was published by Raymond Chan on 4 January 2013 acclaiming both chefs.
On 9 January 2013 without following the required procedure for appointing a director Samuel prepares a directors consent for his father Page 7 and up loads this to the companies register Page 8
Malcolm North, Debbie North and Samuel North are now all directors and have a meeting at their home on the 10 January they resole to remove Jozsef as director Page 9
24 February Samuel North transfers all of Jozsef’s shares to himself . page 10
Jozsef who consulted Lawyers on the 10th of January 2012 has spent two years in court attempting to get justice.
It has been a stalling game one intent on costing Jozsef big $ and now when the end is in sight Malcolm North advises that the company is in liquidation court.
Malcolm North has also been passing himself off as counsel in court documents see here 18 Amended Statement of Defence In this document Malcolm also states
The Companies Office records stating otherwise are in error, and that the plaintiff remains a shareholder in the company, and
The amendment of the Company’s Office register on or around 24February 2013 was an error, and the plaintiff remains a minority shareholder of the Company.
despite making this statement the companies register has never been corrected.
On 19th June 2015 despite Jozsef being denied any rights of a share holder, Malcolm files documents in the District Court pages 11- 54.
In the statement of claim he alleges that Jozsef as a 63.2% share holder is responsible for the corresponding % of losses in Muse on Allen for the 2013 & 2014 financial years .
this would have to be a first in New Zealand where a company sues its only solvent share holder for the loses which the management has incurred after denying the share holder any rights.
The accounts attached speak volumes especially the share holder accounts they show that Jozsef has paid up share capital of $64,118 and Samuel North has a deficit of $6420.
No other persons are shown as share holders and no other share capital has been introduced.
The accounts clearly show however that the funds introduced into the company by Samuel’s parents and his girlfriend Anabel Torrejos were introduced as LOANS. they have never been recorded as share holders.
We wish to make it clear that these documents came to us without any restriction or confidentiality and as can be seen they clearly identify Jozsef as the majority share holder.
As a share holder and in this case the only paid up share holder he has every right to the accounts .
On a % share holding basis it is obvious that the sole owner of Muse on Allen is Not Samuel North but Jozsef .
We believe that what has happened in Muse on Allen totally undermines the confidence that should be had in the integrity of our companies.
Jozsefs battle to be recognized as share holder continues but in a bizarre twist Malcolm North advised Jozsef on 8 June 2015 that the company is currently in insolvency court being sued by Kensington Swan , their former lawyer. The date for the hearing has been delayed allegedly in the hope that they can repay the debt which we believe is some $24,000.
In the mean time Samuel North is driving about town in a Black BMW X3 2007 Reg HYE837 Page 55 .similar to the one pictured for which he has raised a loan through the company ( see corrections on Samuel North responds )
Now that you have these facts you can look at the following articles in a different light , we particularly like the concrete playground article it speaks volumes and is well worth reading and now that you know the truth you will have more insight.
Other less colourful articles are below they all assert falsely that Samuel is the sole owner of Muse on Allen Limited.
