Overview

• Erin Giumba sold a Lamborghini Urus registered in her name but purchased by her ex-boyfriend, Ernest Siow, without his consent after their relationship ended.
• The court found that the car, valued at £260,000, was not a gift but intended for Siow's business use, despite being registered under Giumba’s name due to his non-UK residency.
• Judge Nichola Parfitt ordered Giumba to pay £219,500 from the car sale, two years of interest, and Siow's legal fees, totaling £300,000.
• Giumba admitted to spending the sale proceeds on holidays, clothes, and nightlife during a challenging period in her life, leaving her unable to pay the judgment.
• The case highlights the legal distinction between registration and ownership, emphasizing the importance of clear agreements in asset management during relationships.
