46-year-old Tereza Burki paid for “gold” membership of Seventy Thirty, an agency based in Knightsbridge, London
The Seventy Thirty agency is named after the theory that most successful people spend 70 per cent of their time working and 30 per cent socialising. It provides its members with a personal matchmaking specialist, offering to send them on dates with “high-net-worth individuals”, including some who are “prominent and well known”.
Thus in the hope of finding a partner, a City worker paid £12,600 to the exclusive dating agency for rich and successful singletons. Now, due to the fact that the agency failed to deliver, she is suing it for failing to find her a perfect partner.
Ms Burki is a divorced management consultant with three children. The High Court heard that Ms Burki instructed the agency to find her a wealthy and successful partner with “multiple residences” who would want to have a baby with her. However, after the agency went to work, the client refused to have anything to do with any of the six men whose profiles came up as matches. She did not like them.
Ms Burki is suing for the return of her membership fee and for damages for the “distress, upset, disappointment and frustration” she has experienced. She says she has been let down by the agency, which boasted of the “wealthy, eligible, available men” on its books.
