Swindon Crown Court A PENSIONER was tricked into handing over her life savings by cowboy builders who bodged an unnecessary roofing job. The 79-year-old paid over almost £90,000 to the roofer, who she knew only as Simon Watts, in 2017. After he was told that building control had been informed, the brazen crook even tried to persuade her into handing over more money so he could refund her a larger sum.
Swindon Crown Court heard the culprits who scammed the Old Town woman out of thousands have never been found. However, police followed the trail of cash to two men, Joel Wales and Marcus Wagner, into whose bank accounts the victim’s life savings were paid. The men admitted money laundering.

What’s your most vivid memory from being a pupil?
Apart from wishing that I hadn’t stopped smoking? It was realising that despite having 2 law degrees and a year of Bar School how little I knew, and how fast I had to learn. I started at South Square with no knowledge of insolvency or commercial law. In my first 6 weeks, my pupil master (definitely “master”, not “supervisor” in those days) asked me to research the interaction between rule 4.90 and trust law.
I didn’t know what rule 4.90 was a rule of, let alone how it would be applied. It took me about an hour to get up the courage to ask. I learned not to be afraid to say I didn’t know what I was doing, rather than wasting time being scared to ask a question.
