Hollis told me at the time — in the August of 2023, in his own office, and he was right — that if we contested the finances properly it would take eighteen months and would run alongside the regulator, and that I would be doing both while not practising.

I signed a settlement that gave my ex-husband the house in Ellery, which I had bought in 2017, with a deposit from my grandmother, four years before I met him.
I signed it because I could not carry both. That was the entire point of the complaint, and it worked exactly as intended, and it cost two hundred and eleven thousand pounds of equity.
