Eldonian Community Trust Limited is pleased to confirm that an application made by Shaun Smith Enterprises Limited to reinstate a claim in the sum of ÂŁ25,500 against the charity has today been dismissed in full by District Judge Metcalf. This decision brings the matter to a close.
The current Board of Trustees, appointed in 2025, has approached this matter with a clear and consistent focus: to protect the interests of the charity and the community it serves, while ensuring that all issues are addressed properly and transparently. The Court’s decision provides certainty and allows the Trust to continue its work without the distraction of ongoing proceedings.
The Trustees wish to place firmly on record their sincere thanks to Daniel Crowley of 2 Temple Gardens and Paul Currie of Liverpool Legal Limited for their professionalism, diligence, and support throughout.
Reflecting on today’s outcome, Maureen Price, Vice Chair said:
“I’m really pleased to see this resolved—it gives us the space to move forward and focus on what truly matters: our community. My sincere thanks go to Daniel Crowley and Paul Curry for their commitment and support throughout. There’s a renewed sense of positivity, and I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together next.”
Trustee, Frances Sibert added:
“This is very welcome news and an important step forward for us all. It allows us to put our full energy back into supporting the community and continuing the positive progress we’ve been making. I would also like to thank Daniel Crowley and Paul Curry for their professionalism and support throughout. I’m proud of how the charity has come together and I’m optimistic about the future.”
This outcome marks a positive moment for the charity as it continues its programme of renewal, governance reform, and community-focused activity. The Trust remains committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering meaningful opportunities and support for residents across the Eldonian community.
