Court Orders Woman to Pay £300,000 After Selling Ex-Boyfriend’s Lamborghini

A judge ruled the luxury car was not a gift and ordered Erin Giumba to compensate Ernest Siow for the sale proceeds, interest, and legal fees.

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.
