2nd Witness Statement of Julian Wheatland
I, JULIAN WHEATLAND of 215 Cumnor Hill, Oxford OX2 9RG, company director, STATE as
follows:
I am a director of each of the Applicant companies and am duly authorised to make this witness
statement on their behalves (the “6 Companies”).
I make this witness statement as requested by The Hon. Mr Justice Hildyard over the course of
examining the evidence before him and upon a request for further evidence to be filed.
3. Asa director of each of the applicant companies and, further, having been a director of
Emerdata Limited since 1 1 August 2017, 1 can confirm that Emerdata Limited is a holding
company and that it does not intend to take over or carry on the business of the subsidiaries,
the 6 Companies.
4. I can also confirm that, despite regrettable media supposition to the contrary, the employees
working for the 6 Companies have not had their keycards and laptops seized. To the contrary,
a notice of redundancy was issued and therefore the 6 Companies are in a consultation period
with the employees in each case.
5.
The Qualified Floating Charge over SCL Group Ltd recently agreed to be discharged by
Barclays Bank PLC related to overdraft service that was not in debit or though I believe it had
been used previously had not had prior to the beginning of the adverse media coverage.
6. I can confirm that prior to administration the 6 companies had 61 employees, all of whom
worked for SCL Elections Limited.
7. At JW2 I exhibit the correspondence between Messrs Squire Patton Boggs and the
Information Commissioner’s Office ending on 4th April 2018 to the above witness evidence.
Applicant: J Wheatland, 2nd; JW2, 11.5.2018
