Success for Amie Boothman during three-day High Court trial securing judgment for more than £1.5million

March 20, 2026

Amie Boothman appeared before HHJ Halliwell during a three-day trial in the High Court concerning a claim relating to an oral loan agreement in respect of £5.38million of historic transactions, of which several transactions had been allocated to US investments, as well as formalised within a written loan agreement and a Deed of Assignment, leaving an outstanding sum due to the Claimant of more than £1.7million.

Amie acted for the Claimant and has done so since the claim was issued in 2023. The Defendant company disputed the claim, alleging that no such oral agreement was entered, the Claimant had purportedly instructed the Defendant to invest the funds and that a surplus had been paid to the Claimant and the figures claimed to have been paid to the Defendant and said to be due to be repaid were not sufficiently quantified or evidentially supported.

The Judge acceded to the Claimant’s claim and ordered the Defendant to pay a sum of more than £1.9million, made up of the judgment sum, interest and 90% of the Claimant’s costs on account pursuant to CPR r.44.2(8).

Amie was instructed by Duncan Hope and Claire Jowett of Hill Dickinson LLP.
