AbstractThe research presented in this thesis is concerned with the design, synthesis and structural analysis of new platinum (II) pincer complexes with a view to developing new solid state and solution state molecular switches.

Mishcon de Reya said Stubbs regularly met with the Met over several years to provide information in relation to the fraud against Allseas. The meeting with the two detectives recounted in the Crimint report took place in October 2013. The whole thing is bizarre. I mean, there are all sorts of problems with it,” the judge remarked. “There are all sorts of questions one can imagine one might ask Mike Stubbs if only to show him how harebrained the idea is.” The police, the judge added, “simply blew the whole idea out of the water both times it was suggested, which was the responsible thing to do”. Because of this so-called tumult, new edicts were put in place within a fortnight stating that “it is declared high treason to the subjects of this kingdome or any of number of them more or less upon any ground of pretext whatsomever to continow in armes” (NRS, PC1/48 p642). Also on the programme, the actress Imogen Stubbs, who's in a play called Third Finger, Left Hand. Her childhood was unusual - she grew up on a barge, and we're also speaking to someone who once moved house on one.While there had been scandals and protests in the universities and churches, this protest was of a different kind. According to the Privy Council’s report of the event: Privy Council: Register of Acta ( NRS, PC1/48 p620)

During the trial, but in the absence of the jury, lawyers for Louanjli applied to introduce as evidence a report filed on the Met’s internal intelligence sharing system, Crimint, in which the two detectives provided their account of the meeting with Stubbs in 2013. The following is a testimony from a young woman aged 15 who accessed my service, and of course everyone’s experience is unique. However, it is also worth noting that, despite the Privy Council declaring “they ought and should be most severely punished”, three of the people brought before it were released from the Tolbooth in the following months: Edison, Mathieson (both tailors) and Pass Sungal (NRS, PC1/49 p61). Privy Council: Register of Acta ( NRS, PC1/49 p92) According to the transcripts, Stubbs told the detectives the intelligence operative was proposing to pay a portion of the money into a police pension fund. The detectives allegedly “strongly rebuffed” the proposal and told Stubbs “in clear and strongly worded terms” that the offer he was relaying was “interpreted as a bribe”.The QC alleged that Stubbs then repeated the offer from the ex-SAS sergeant a second time. “Again this was strongly rebuffed,” Rainsford said, and Stubbs “took this on board” before texting the ex-SAS officer with a brief message: “Too dangerous.” That day the annuall horse race wes at Leith and by the way comeing from it a baxters servant and ane of Sir James Leslies souldiers fell aquarelling about a baxter young man said to have been pressed in the Canongate. Upon this the baxters servants there gathered together and threattened to force the guaird and search the Canongate tollbooth. But the guaird told them that there wes none of there oune number in the tollbooth they went off, but immediately stirred up the baxters and other trades servants of the city with whome some other young fellowes joyneing they went and seized and thus the nether bow port and then sett upon the court of guaird in Edinburgh. Transcript NRS, SRO10/582/4 p135 After his liberation from the Tolbooth, Pass Sungal abided by the conditions of his release and – unfortunately for us – vanishes from the record.

Several men were brought before the Privy Council for their parts in leading the protest, including Pass Sungal who had “wounded with a small sword James Gilchrist, soldier, while he wes standing centinell at the said guaird door”. In late 2011, Stubbs was hired by Nobre, who at the time was seeking to regain control of money in the UK he said was for investment purposes but later transpired to be proceeds of the €100m fraud. Chapter 5 shifted the focus from the use of terpyridine based ligands to N In its correspondence with the Guardian, Mishcon de Reya said Stubbs did not make any offer or proposal to the police, but “simply relayed information in line with client instructions” so the police “could assess its credibility and take appropriate steps”. Rainsford told the court the officers rejected this offer and “pointed out to Stubbs in clear and strongly worded terms that this offer was interpreted as a bribe, money laundering and an attempt to deceive a suspect on bail”.Generations of families go there. There were grannies and great granddads, playing board games with their children and their children's children. One family had been going, every year, for half a century. With one in four people experiencing a mental health difficulty, and the demand for psychotherapy increasing, you are certainly not alone. Different reasons bring people to therapy and at various times and stages of life. People often ask me what area I specialise in, and I usually say, “trying to support people to understand and navigate being human and the complexities and challenges that can entail”. Life can be tough and sometimes we just need that extra bit of support to help us through. I am a strong advocate that therapy is not about changing you, it’s about enabling you to be the person that you are, rather than the person that you have felt you have had to be, within a safe and supportive environment. Weeks later, in a highly unusual move, the Mishcon de Reya lawyer switched sides to represent Allseas after it became apparent the company had been defrauded. Since then, Stubbs and Mishcon de Reya have helped the Dutch company recover its client’s money and pursue Nobre’s associates through litigation. Old Guard House of Edinburgh.

Our teenage brood have warmed to the place, despite spending frustrating and pointless minutes, tapping their phone or tablet to try to communicate with the outside world. The pudding table, groaning with pavlova and creme brûlée, tore them away and won them over. Because of the political unrest, William and Mary issued multiple edicts to increase the authority and role of military troops all over the country. This sometimes led to confrontations, with people being press-ganged into joining the expanding military, or caught up in the protests against the same force.

Kneller, Godfrey; King William III (1650-1702); Cromwell Museum; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/king-william-iii-16501702-48841 Rainsford told the court the plan involved police temporarily returning Nobre’s passport to him to deceive him into thinking “his passport was being permanently returned and that proceedings would be terminated”. As part of this plan, he explained, Nobre would use the passport to access the €300m in the Swiss bank account. This is especially compelling because other prisoners who threw stones or banged drums were still detained or sent to the house of correction (NRS, SRO10/582/4 p608). While it cannot be confirmed, it can be hypothesized that the men who were released were considered of a more respectable social rank which gained them a more lenient sentence, despite the fact they were key players in the protest: two tailors and the servant of a gentleman’s household.
