Muse Eatery Catering Limited Samuel North liquidators first report

The liquidators first report has been released for catering limited the company which ran Muse eatery , it can be found here
The liquidators Palliser were appointed by resolution of the shareholder. The shareholder HANIA TRUSTEE (CATERING) LIMITED
is a trust into which Samuel North transferred his assets and his share holding in catering limited 22 April 2016 .
Samuel has done his apprenticeship in companies and when He was investigated in 2015 it was revealed that he had breached some 30 companies act provisions.
But the companies act does not appear to be well enforced and even while Samule was opperating what in our opinion ( based on a truck load of evidence ) was a Phoenix company.
It comes as a bit of a surprise that the liquidator states that there are no assets , we have to ask what was it then that was removed from the premises and captured on film .
There was a flat deck truck belonging to Bramco and another truck belonging to castle parcels DDF 834
and at least two other cars ERQ249 and KKF271
what did they take away thin air ?

Catering Limited : Muse Eatery : Samuel North in Liquidation
Just three weeks after Samuel North closed the doors to Muse eatery the company catering Limited which operated the business muse eatery has gone into liquidation .
It would appear that the share holder
HANIA TRUSTEE (CATERING) LIMITED Hoggard Law Limited, 29 Hania Street, Mt Victoria, Wellington, 6011 , New Zealand
has placed the company into liquidation and appointed their own liquidators .
Samuel North was the share holder of the company but moved the share holding into a trust in april 2016 . It has all been very predictable and North continued to sell Grab one and groupon deals even after he knew he was closing, we believe that this is fraudulent.
Our suggestion is that if you are owed money that you attend the liquidators watershed meeting when it is announced and ensure that independent liquidators are appointed ( as opposed to one appointed by North ) .
When a company appoints its own liquidators the liquidation is likely not to be as transparent or fair as it would be if the liquidator is working for a creditor .
It is our honest opinion that the Liquidators will sell on the Chattels, at a nominal price and the phoenix will fly again when North purchases them .
Muse eatery opened its doors before Muse on Allen had even been placed in to liquidation and it is believed that many of its assets actually belonged to muse.
We have been contacted by many persons who are owed by North , North is avoiding service by debt collectors , there are former staff members who have unresolved grievances .
Samuel north has removed the face book page, the linked in page and the web site .

Update
Samuel North has engaged Stephen Iorns <stephen@iornslegal.co.nz> and is bleating defamation
We Hope the barrister gets paid .
Malcolm North from the ministry of social development , Bullies us again
An email from Malcolm North has been forwarded to me, it is grossly defamatory and bullying and alleges that Samuel terminated his lease. we would like to hear from any one at MSD ( ministry of social development), is he also a bully at work because he certainly is in emails, again speculating and threatening by stating ” I have spoken to xxxxxx employer about his behaviour so don’t expect him to be employed for much longer‘ it is noted that his email had this disclaimer ——————————- This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and subject to legal privilege.

If you have received this email in error please notify the author immediately and erase all copies of the email and attachments. The Ministry of Social Development accepts no responsibility for changes made to this message or attachments after transmission from the Ministry. ——————————-” does that indicate that he sent the email from the ministy of social developments servers and using his Muserestaurant email address. Not a good look
But getting back to the statement that Samuel terminated his lease, this generally requires a ” notice period ” so when di dhe give notice and how did this line up with the Grab one and groupon offers? https://new.grabone.co.nz/restaurants-bars-cafes/european-restaurants/p/muse-eatery-and-bar-13 and https://www.grouponnz.co.nz/deals/muse-bar-and-eatery
the pdf copies downloaded tonight are here Muse Eatery and Bar • GrabOne NZ and here Muse Eatery & Bar – Up To 60% Off – Wellington _ Groupon
We first heard the rumour that Muse was closing on the 18th January , this is just 10 days after the deals were offered on line . If you have an uncertain future then 10 days out would you offer deals . These offers are valid till end of march and early april as shown on the PDF’s so where are they going to be honoured if Samuel knew all along that he had terminated the lease .
at least 80 people spent $99 on groupon =$7,920 at least 10 people spent $195 on groupon =$1,950 total $9,870
86 people bought the grab one deal at $69 =5,934 total for the two deals potentially outstanding $15,804
We look forward to hearing from the landlord. The land lord in Allen street was left out of pocket according to liquidators papers time will tell if the name of this land lord will ultimately appear on the liquidation papers for catering company .
The web page which was paid up until the 16 th February was pulled 5 February and now defaults to the web serves page , The face book page was taken down last week .So if the web page and Face book pages were pulled why not pull these deals ? Why leave them up why no formal announcement .
We have heard from reliable sources that there are substantial debts .
Any one out of pocket with a provable debt please contact us we are coordinating a group action .
we will keep you posted we know there is more to come
The Phoenix has flown .. Muse Eatery rumours of closure prove true
Hard on the heals of Five Boroughs another restaurant has closed its doors.
This one however did not come as a surprise to us, as rumours had been flowing freely that Samuel North was going to close the doors at the end of the month.
Transparency took the precaution of notifying key people so that the evidence of the intent was there .
This is not the first time that boy wonder Samuel North has closed shop he did this with Muse on Allen, took all the Branded crockery cutlery and any thing that was not tacked down and started a new business leaving massive debts in his wake.
Our people in Wellington managed to capture the action as it unfolded . we wonder
1.if the staff knew that they would turn up for work and ind the contents gone ,
2. If the land lord knew of if he is going to be out of pocket just like the last one
3. was the stuff Samuels to take he had previously said it belonged to the premises
4. where was it all going
5. Are the grab ones which are still being sold going to be repaid ?
6. are the groupons still going to be sold
Guess these pictures will be of use for the liquidator we believe that once again IRD have been left out of pocket ,well timed Samuel we believe that the 7th feb may have been D day for tax payment so it appears that to prevent liquidators recovering assets you have got in first. we wonder where the next phoenix will rise ? The company Muse eatery traded under wsa Catering Limited. The face book page for muse was pulled last week .
Samuel was last seen in the castle parcels van shown below .. he had a convoy but , Sam it was not unseen. and . will you refund the Grab ones ? was it not a tad fraudulent to keep selling them when you and every one else in wellington ( it seems ) knew that you were going to do a runner.
