John Edward Clancy, sole director of three building companies recently put into liquidation, has readily accessed the Companies Office website as “Presenter” and ‘authorised’ the record of a transfer of all the 80 shares listed as owned by “FJ40 Trust” in OJJ Christchurch Central Ltd – into the ownership of Riani Suhandi. These shares – 20% of the company – were “owned” by a “Trust” with no trustees names ever having been recorded against the shareholding record – a clear breach of the Companies Act 1993 by Clancy.

John Edward Clancy and Global Developments (Waltham) Ltd (In Liq)
John Edward Clancy is recorded on Companies Office Register as the sole director of Global Developments (Waltham) Ltd which was put into liquidation on 22 July 2015 by Order of the High Court under s 241(2)(c) of the Companies Act 1993. The petitioning creditor was the Inland Revenue Department. David Murray Blanchett of PriceWaterhouseCoopers Auckland was appointed by the Court as Liquidator. (This is the third company directed by Clancy that has been put into liquidation in recent months).
John Edward Clancy’s “signature” is recorded on the Director’s Consent Certificate he “signed” sometime on or before the 21 January 2014, which was faxed at 10.21 that day to the Companies Office from Tim Fleming Associated Ltd, registered office Level 5, 64 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland, New Zealand. The Certificate was completed by the accountant acting for all the companies John Clancy directs, Richard Townsend Somerville, of Walker Somerville Ld, which has its registered office at Level 5, 64 Khyber Pass Rd, Newmarket, Auckland, 1023 , New Zealand. (Somerville and Fleming work in the same office).
The “John Clancy” signature on the Director’s Certificate would appear NOT to be his. It does not match in any way the signatures on numerous other Director’s certificates he has signed.

As trustees they jointly own the shares with a trustee service company – Clancy Trustee Company Ltd, owned and directed by Somerville].
The Consent Certificate for the shareholder of Global Developments (Waltham) Ltd – FJ40 Trustees Ltd – was signed by Richard Somerville and faxed to the Companies Office at 15:21 on 20 January 2014 from the Office of Tim Fleming Associates Ltd. All the company’s 1000 shares are jointly held by FJ40 Trustees Ltd (owned and directed by Somerville), and the Trust’s single trustee John Edward Clancy.

John Clancy: Troubled Global group costs Christchurch City Council another $37,000
A building group that has already cost the Christchurch City Council $166,000 owes it another $37,000.
The council last week wrote off $165,831 owed by Global Developments (New Zealand) Ltd (now in liquidation and renamed Derby Grey Ltd) for development contributions on 12 units in Worcester St, Linwood.
Housing New Zealand (HNZ) bought the units last year for $4 million.
Global Developments is part of the Global Homes Group connected to Auckland businessman John Edward Clancy.
English-born John Edward Clancy heads a troubled building group in Christchurch
The council has now liquidated another company in the group. Global Developments 511 Madras Street Ltd was put into liquidation on July 10 by the High Court in Auckland
The company owes the council $35,416 for a building consent and the council spent another $2000 putting the company into liquidation………
In addition, the Companies Office has started an investigation into allegations Global company documents submitted for registration in the Companies office are incorrect.
Under the Companies Act, directors and shareholders must give their correct residential addresses for certain documents.
Clancy appears to have entered the address of his business premises as his residential address. His Auckland accountant, Richard Somerville, who is a director of a trustee company holding shares in the Global group, appears to have done the same.
Somerville said he was vacating his role with the Global group and would be approaching the Companies Office about the alleged irregularities.
Clancy could not be contacted.
A spokesman for the Companies Office said the allegations about the document irregularities made by the Society for the Promotion of Community Standards [“SPCS”] were being investigated.
“Where non-compliance is identified the Companies Office undertakes administrative action to obtain compliance,” he said.
Prosecution would be considered in exceptional cases, the spokesman said.
