Biiiltlei* is o’iven more time to pay

A Clitheroe builder who owed the public purse more than £11,000 after a benefitsscam has been given another 28 daystopayup.


In April, Paul Bialecki (46) had


beengivensixmonthstohand over the £11,085.69 he got fraudulently or, he was told, he would face seven months behind bars. He was back at Burnley


Crown Court on Thursday, when a judge was told he had been unable to pay and he sought more time. At an earlier proceeds of crime hearing at the court,


RecorderPaul Reid,QC,found Bialecki had benefitted to that tune and made a confiscation order for the amount. The court had been told he had available assets of £23,049.03. Bialecki’sWr ister at that


hearing, Karl Berry, had told the court that Bialecki, who was self- employed, fully in­ tended to pay the full amount


within thesixmonths.Henow has until November 19th to


handoverthe money,after Re­ corder Howard Bentham, QC, extended the payment time by 28 days and adjourned the


hearing until that date. At the earlier sentencing


hearing, the court had been told how Bialecki got money he was not entitled to by claim­ ing he did not have a wife. He was said to have had an on/ off relationship with spouse Janet, but she had never per­ manently moved out of the home they shared in Clithe­ roe. When he was found out, he was to tell the Department


for Work and Pensions he and his wife could not live with


each other and could not live without each other. Bialecki, said to suffer se­


rious depression sometimes, had admitted three counts of fraud, committed between January, 2011, and July, 2013, and had been committed for sentence by magistrates.


The defendant, of Whittle


Close, Clitheroe, had been giv­ en a community order with 12 months supervision and 150 hoursunpaidwork. TheDWP prosecutor told the crown court that Bialecki claimed Employment andSupport Al­ lowance, to whichhewasnoten-


titled, on three separate times. Investigations showed that


the defendant and his wife had neverpermanently separated.


Mrs Bialecki worked at Sains- burys for 25 hours a week during the period of the de­ ception. The couple had been on two holidays together and the bills were paid out of Mrs Bialecki’s bank account. The prosecutor said the de-


fendant was questioned twice. During the first interview, he accepted it was important to give correct information and accepted his wife had not of­ ficially left. On the second occasion, he said he felt sick after the previous interview. He told officials he and his wife could not live with each other and could not live with­ out each other. They never had any particular intention to split up definitely. Mr Berry had earlier told the court Bialecki had had a


number o f unfortunate in­ stances in his life, whichhadhad


a profound effect upon him. He had long -standing difficulties. The barrister had added:


“He is at pains to confirm he wishes to make full reparation.


' He has also indicated his per­ sonal shame at the offending."-
