In the First Hall of the Civil Court

Adv. Alain Muscat (KI 330087M) as special mandatory of the foreign compamy Swiss Life (Liechtenstein) AG (FL-0002.121.006-0) 

vs 

Novium Opportunity Umbrella SICAV plc (SV76)

Paolo Bruckner (passport AA1274306) 

Jonathan De Giovanni (ID 484985M)

Charles Ingham (ID 141261A) 

Judicial Protest of Adv. Alain Muscat (KI 330087M) as special mandatory of the foreign compamy Swiss Life (Liechtenstein) AG (FL-0002.121.006-0) 

Requests with respect:

That the protestant noe is registered as an investor in the protested entity Novium Opportunity Umbrella SICAV plc (SV76), an investment company with variable share capital registered in terms of the Companies Act (Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta) and, previously, authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority (‘MFSA’) to operate as a collective investment scheme in terms of the Investment Services Act (Cap. 370 of the Laws of Malta) (‘NOUS’);

That the protestant noe holds thirty-two thousand three hundred ninety-six point six three two (32,396.632) units in the NOUS sub-fund named Quality Investments Fund (the ‘Fund’);

That according to the last reported net asset value (NAV), released nearly ten years ago on the second (2nd) September, 2016, it was estimated that as at the thirty-first (31st) December, 2015, the asset value of the Fund was twenty-two euro and two four seven cents (€22.247) per unit;

That based on this valuation, the protestant noe’s investment in the Fund as at the thirty-first (31st) December 2015 amounted to seven hundred and twenty thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven euro and eighty-seven cents (€720,727.87);

That on the 24th of October 2018, the protestant noe, in his capacity as an investor in the Fund, filed a judicial protest with number 338/18 (the ‘First Protest) whereby, inter alia, the protestant noe complained that he had no information regarding the current value of his investment and, even less so, what had occurred with the Fund’s investments, notwithstanding numerous attempts by the protestant noe to obtain further information in this regard. Furthermore, the protestant noe complained that he had no information regarding the circumstances that led Novium AG, the Fund’s manager, to resign, or who had taken over the management of the investments following such resignation;

That the First Protest served to bring all this to the attention of the protested parties and to inform them that their conduct was abusive and unlawful, as even acknowledged by the MFSA itself in various public communications, and that therefore the protestant noe placed the protested parties in dolo, culpa, and mora for all legal intents and purposes;

That following the filing of the First Protest, the protested party NOUS and its directors continued to give assurances that efforts were underway to finalise the financial statements of NOUS. However, despite these assurances, the accounts were never completed. Moreover, although the protestant noe was informed that a liquidator had been appointed for the company, the relevant details regarding such liquidation were never published, neither on the online portal of the Malta Business Registry nor by the MFSA;

That therefore, on the third (3rd) of August of the year two thousand and twenty (2020), the protestant noe submitted the necessary forms to redeem the entire investment he held in the Fund, which forms were sent to the Fund, a copy of which is annexed hereto and marked as Document A. The forms reflect the protestant Noe’s request to redeem the following investments in the Fund: (a) 6,841.854 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (b) 1,460.881 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (c) 6,390.421 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (d) 1,705.865 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (e) 1,833.460 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (f) 3,609.224 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (g) 1,262.677 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (h) 3,812.250 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; (i) 1,220 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares; and (j) 4,260 Class ‘A’ Q1 Fund Shares (the ‘Redemption Forms’);

That on the seventh (7th) August of the year two thousand and twenty (2020), the Fund confirmed that it had received the Redemption Forms;

That on the eleventh (11th) September, 2020, the MFSA issued a notice informing the public that the licence of the Fund, as well as other NOUS sub-funds, had been cancelled due to multiple breaches and violations of applicable regulations and laws on the part of NOUS and the Fund;

That on the first (1st) October, 2020, the protestant noe, in his capacity as an investor in the Fund, filed a further judicial protest with number 318/2020 (the ‘Second Protest’). Through this Second Protest, the protestant noe, inter alia, reiterated his complaint that there had been no material developments regarding his investment and that he still had not received any clear or transparent information on its current status. It was further noted that no updated valuation had been provided, with the only available value being that of the thirty-first (31st) December, 2015;

That, most alarmingly, since the filing of the First Protest, and notwithstanding the years that have passed, the last reported financial statements by NOUS remain those for the financial year ending on the thirty-first (31) of December, 2014. Since then, the protestant noe has received no information on the true value of his investment, which has been officially suspended since the thirty-first (31) of December 2015;

That not only has the protestant noe been deprived of any meaningful update on the financial condition of NOUS and the Fund, but even the details regarding the appointment of the liquidator remain unpublished to this day.

That as a direct consequence of this total lack of transparency and continued failure to account, the realisation of the protestant noe’s investment in the Fund has, to this day, not materialised;

That this ongoing and unlawful conduct by the protested parties is both abusive and persistent and has caused, and continues to cause, serious prejudice to the protestant noe, who is suffering considerable damages, including the loss of return on investment as well as the potential loss of the original investment itself.

Therefore, the protestant noe, while formally bringing all the above to the attention of the protested parties, and while formally protesting against their unlawful conduct, hereby calls upon them to cease and desist from such abusive and unlawful behaviour, and holds them in dolo, culpa, and mora for all legal purposes and consequences. The protestant noe further holds them personally liable for all damages suffered, being suffered, and which may still be suffered in the future.

This judicial protest is being filed inter alia in terms of article 2128 of the Civil Code (Cap. 16 of the Laws of Malta) and article 891 of the Code of Organization and Civil Procedure (Cap. 12 of the Laws of Malta).

So that you may take notice and regulate yourselves accordingly.

With costs and interest.

Banns for Curators

Republic of Malta

To the Marshall of the Court

By means of a decree given by this Court on the 11th June 2025, following a request by Express Trailers Limited it was ordered that deputy curators be chosen to represent Matthew James Smith in the acts of the judicial letter number 2623/2025 in the names Express Trailers Limited vs Deputy Curators and in the other relative and subsequent acts.

By means of a judicial letter filed in the First Hall of the Civil Courts on the 6th June 2025 by Express Trailers Limited (C4278) of Velbro House, Triq Ħal Qormi, Ħal Luqa LQA 9040, Malta, against deputy curators nominated to represent Matthew James Smith (English passport number GBR 133889231), Express Trailers Limited (C4278) calls upon you so that, immediately and by not later than two weeks from the date when you are notified with this same judicial letter, you pay the interpellant company the sum of one hundred and twenty thousand seven hundred and sixty seven Euro and fifteen cents (€120,767.15) representing the total amount of outstanding payments following a business transaction which took place during the year 2024, and this with interest which has accrued during the year 2025 (as shown by the Statement of Account hereby attached and marked as Doc. A) through your company MJS Food and Drink Limited, a foreign company registered in England, with registration number 11560549 and address at 303 Wellingborough Road, Northampton, NN1 4EW, of which you are sole owner and director (see extract from companies House website marked as Doc. a) B) as well as guarantor for the debt, together with interest of eight per cent (8%) on terms agreed between the parties.

That, you personally bound yourself in a joint and several manner with your company above mentioned, as debtor of the interpellant company and this by means of two contracts (private writings) dated twenty eight (28) of June of the year two thousand, twenty four (2024) and on the eight (8) of July of the year two thousand, twenty four (2024) (a copy of these are being attached and marked as Doc. C). From these contracts, it is clear that you have agreed to be personally liable for the payment of your company’s debt.

Although you and your company have undertaken to pay the above mentioned debt by not later than 8th July, 2025, the company MJS Food and drink Limited has today entered into winding-up proceedings and a liquidator has been appointed for the company, thus it is not in a position to pay the debt. Furthermore, you failed to make any form of contact with the interpellant company and it has no further information about you or where you are residing.

Thus, the debt is to be immediately paid by you as above demanded.

It is also stated that although you and your company MJS Food and Drink Limited as principal debtor renounced to any period of prescription that could ever have run on the debt due, and this by means of the contract of the twenty eight (28) June of the year two thousand, twenty four (2024), for all intents and purposes at law this judicial letter is also interrupting any period of prescription that you could try to argue it applies.

In default of payment due, the interpellant company will have no alternative but to institute judicial proceedings against you according to law, including by requesting the issue of the opportune warrants or without further notice.

By means of this present the interpellant company is also holding you responsible for any further damage that you may suffer due to the same damage caused by you.

This judicial letter is being filed against you for all intents and purposes of law.

With costs and interest according to the terms of the applicable contracts till the date of effective payment.
