It will be speeded up if the ADUK site logs into Google webmaster tools and tells them the content has moved.
Also a permanent redirect for each page on the ADUK site will also help considerably. Probably best done with a url rewrite in the .htaccess file.
Not sure what incentive there is for him to do that - he bought the site for its Google rankings, has admitted that the forum is no longer useful to him, but doubtful if he wants to deliberately drive traffic away ...

As he's taken the forum down and the pages indexed are no longer displayed when a Google search result is clicked, his rankings will gradually drop away (if it was based on the forum content).
