Except the problem wasn't pre-existing. It is a completely different issue.
HW are using it as a tenuous link to deny.
Guys the case is heading to court, the consultant on the case stated that he spent about 25% of his professional time writing up reports to prove that this get of jail cause, used by many insurance agencies are false.

I lost my medical last year

EK Paid then LIPS paid (I know of one other colleague who was also paid)

Happy to take any questions privately or publicly.

Loss of License insurance :Insurance Regulations
 

I had no idea there were such serious consequences for conducting insurance business without a license.

Wouldn't envy any Financial Institution or individual found culpable for this:

"Carrying on a regulated activity in the UK without authorisation or the benefit of an applicable exemption, such as effecting and carrying out contracts of insurance, is a criminal offence for which the PRA or FCA can instigate proceedings and for which, on conviction, a fine or imprisonment can be imposed under section 23 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). Notwithstanding the illegality of the unauthorised insurance contract in question, the FSMA provides that the contract (although unenforceable by the insurer) is enforceable by the insured insofar as the insured can recover sums paid under the policy."

What’s your point? Most of us don’t give a damn about UK law, we're in the ME!

Because the money is held in Gurnsey I believe, and hence comes under UK law.

Not sure that's true.

Subject Financial criminal law / investigation: not policy exclusion
 

The post below highlights the serious and life/career changing consequences facing any Financial Institution or Individual manager(s) representing that entity being the subjects under investigation and more relevantly being found guilty of a finance crime.

On the question of Jurisdiction The Channel Islands Financial Law mirrors UK Finance law both in principle and consequence IE: Custodial sentence and /or significant fines for the offenders.

IOM, Channel Islands still have laws which offer protection. And tax avoidance, depending on what you’re trying to do.

Unless the money is in the Middle East or Africa, things should be transparent. The same way that theoretically your provident shouldn’t be subject to interference by EK in the Isle of Man.

OR

It isn't, apart from the Company contributions, over which they maintain authority until you leave.

API pilot "managers" resignations
 

Has anyone noticed there has been a spate of API pilot fund manager resignations these past 12 months, indeed at a rate well above and beyond what could be reasonably attributed to "natural" attrition.

Pilot fund manager mandate and accountability
 

People and in particular those already receiving benefits from the LIPS API loss of license insurance scheme say that the over 20 million dirhams of pilot contributed funds needs taking care of.

How many LIPS API pilots who pay their LIPS API loss of license insurance premiums can honestly say they "know" who the former (now resigned ) and the acting pilot managers of LIPS API are: by "know" I mean how many pilot members could call them up directly on their mobile phone right now ?

More importantly if the LIPS API insurance scheme pilot manager were to answer your phone call, how many of those pilot managers could provide you with a curriculum vitae summarizing their Financial qualification to manage such a substantial amount of money.

Why were thousands of LIPS API Insurance scheme premium paying pilots not given the correct instruction and information from the outset, questions about incompetence, transparency and accountability need to be presented and presented now before it is too late to save this pilots loss of license insurance scheme.

Members need to ask " Who has control? " and with this information obtain honest and verifiable answers to the questions above.

“This footballfanppl claim thing has been on here for months. Anyone know where this is heading or what the outcome ?”

The questions you are asking, should have been addressed before you signed up.

Judging by posts a year back he probably went to the same school of Due diligence and Compliance as Dune.

What is all this about ????? Then
 

“ Has anyone else received this e mail from LIPS/ API recently :rolleyes:.


Hi Member,

Our records do not show that you have filled out the onlineapplication to the API trust. Your application to the Trustee is a mandatory requirementof the Guernsey Financial Services Commission no matter howlong your have been a member of LIPS. BLAH..BLAH… BLAH…


…………………..

We apologize if you received this message in erroror if you have already verified your e mail and started the application to theAPI Trust, we.re not perfect ( ! ) ….etc

Why am I being asked for all this paperwork filling information: I have precious free time as it is :ugh:. What is all this about as I thought I had completed my application to the scheme and was already covered with the API insurance protection ?” :=

E mail sent to LIPS API members in March
 

Is this the same e mail sent to some of my colleagues last March ?

Who are the current API board managers?
 

“Can anyone verify who the active API pilot committee managers are and pm me their contact details . Word on the street is that this reference to them on the API website is not accurate.”


(Screen shot below on todays API website )





Attachment 3686

DUE DILIGENCE : The Double Edge Sword :all denied insurance premium subscribers PM me. I hold factual information of significant value. FOR THE FEW ALREADY RECEIVING BENEFIT YOUR CONTINUED BENEFITS ARE UNDER THREAT.

Fact is the, excuse "we are not perfect" will not cut the mustard with the Financial Regulatory Authorities....non compliance is non compliance.

Don't forget your propeller underpants
 

Just another wee question for you (now silent) Bell for whom the Dune tolls....do the LIPS API pilot managers have an open mandate to spend the entire fund on a single legal case of wrongful denial?

Guess not, and yet those same LIPS API pilot board individuals are quite happy to spend substantial pilot contributed funds held "in good faith"at SOVEREIGN TRUST (Guernsey) under Managing Director Hare "in good faith" on one single upcoming court case.
Should they lose this case they will be liable for plaintiff costs and same will be drawn from ...you guessed it....the funds intended to support pilots who can no longer fly professionally.


Ive heard some excellent advice for the LIPS API pilot board and repeat it here ....... "IF YOU FIND YOURSELF DIGGING A HOLE YOU DIDN,T INTEND THEN THE SOLUTION IS TO STOP DIGGING"
