| Ian Ogilvy
Ian Ogilvy was an ex-partner, director, shareholder in a company called Oppenheimer Jewellers (Lytham) Limited set up by Lawrence Chard, Alan Keith Holloway and Ian Ogilvy. This company traded as a retail jeweller at 3 Park Street Lytham. Ogilvy was to be the Managing Director of the company in charge of day to day management of the shop, although policy was to be agreed by all three director shareholders. The company was incorporated on 21st July 1983, and commenced trading in September 1983. Ogilvie also carried out some work from September 1984 to May 1987, for a company owned by Chard and Holloway called Oppenheimer Jewellers Limited, which traded from 101 Church Street Blackpool, as a retail jewellers, for which he received a fee from that company. This arrangement stopped shortly after Ogilvy's wife purported opened a retail jewellery shop, A&B Christie, in Blackpool in partnership with Andrew R. Tattington, who was also previously employed as a bench jeweller by the Blackpool company. Although Ogilvy insisted that he was not involved, he was made frequent disappearances from the Blackpool shop, and was observed on a number of occasions to visit the newly opened competitor's shop. We are aware that a number of telephone calls were received and made at the Blackpool shop on the behalf of the competitor, deliveries for it were received at the Blackpool shop, and its name was used in credit references. At a meeting attended by the company's auditors on 10th February, attention was called to a number of accounting irregularities at the company, and it was suggested the Ogilvy should resign his directorship and his employment be terminated. As Ogilvy did not agree to this immediately, the auditors were requested to investigate the alleged irregularities, and if any evidence of dishonest were found, to report the matter to the police without further reference to the directors. The alleged irregularities included payments for second-hand jewellery bought by OJLL, and transfers of stock between the two companies. Ogilvy requested an adjournment until the next day, so that he could consider his position, and take advice, which we assume included legal advice, and this was agreed. On 11th February, the meeting continued, and Ogilvy tendered his resignation. High Court Writ
