  • Commercial boundary dispute

    Commercial boundary dispute

    Giovanni Jacovelli, who runs the Conwy Valley Maze in North Wales, says he has been subjected to repeated threats by Terrence Maitland, who lets out a holiday cottage on neighbouring land over a post put on the boundary between the properties.

    In footage filmed by Mr Jacovelli, Mr Maitland is heard shouting, “That post is staying. You touch it and I’ll f****** bury you.”

    He also says, “It’s my property” and “touch my post and I’ll destroy you… I’ll rip your head off.”

    Mr Jacovelli has stated that Mr Maitland’s aggression has forced him to change the maze to keep visitors away from the neighbouring property.

    The bitter dispute led Mr Maitland being issued with a restraining order and the pair appearing on Channel 5’s The Nightmare Neighbour Next Door.

  • Parking dispute between neighbours reaches County Court

    Bankers Andrew and Penny McSpadden have been involved in a parking dispute with finance company boss Sheriar Bradbury for a number of years over the size of the car parking bays outside the converted church they share in Hampstead.

    The dispute escalated when art dealers Mary and Yuval Hanina paid £1.45m to buy the third house in the three-home development for their doctor daughter Sophie.

    Mary Hanina claims her daughter’s space has been squeezed into an unusable slither between the other two spaces where only a ‘professional driver’ could park.

    However, the McSpaddens, who are also accused of trespassing on Dr Hanina’s space, claim they are doing nothing wrong and that the problem has come from Mr Bradbury taking up more room than he should.

    In response Mr Bradbury claims the whole dispute which has now reached the Central London County Court is a waste of time and could easily be solved by everyone parking a few inches along.

    The court also heard the parties are fighting over the use of a bin storage area, which the McSpaddens insist is theirs. They deny that their neighbours have an automatic right to dump their rubbish in the facility.

    Judge Nicholas Parfitt said he would give his judgment at a later date.

  • Administrators called into footwear retailer Brantano

    Shoe retailer Brantano has gone into administration, putting more than 1,000 jobs at risk.

    The chain was bought out of administration in 2015 by a company controlled by turnaround specialists Alteri Investors.

    Since then Brantano has suffered from the “depressed and competitive” footwear market, as well as the fall in sterling.

    Alteri also owns Jones Bootmaker and is also seeking a buyer for that chain.

    Administrators from PwC said the business would continue to trade as normal while a buyer is sought.

  • Business takeover advice from our corporate solicitors

    Business takeover advice from our corporate solicitors

    21st Century Fox has defended its £11.7bn takeover bid for broadcaster Sky after Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said she was “minded” to intervene in the deal after concerns about about media plurality and broadcasting standards.

    Ms Bradley has been weighing up whether to refer the deal to Ofcom after warning it could pose “public interest considerations” that warranted further investigation.

    One concern is that the merger would give businessman Rupert Murdoch too much control over the British media as both Sky and Fox are controlled by Mr Murdoch, who also owns News UK, publisher of the Times and the Sun newspapers.

  • Pre-nuptial agreement at heart of Presley divorce

    A court has ordered Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley to pay $10,000 a month for five months of her estranged husband Michael Lockwood’s legal expenses as she divorces him.

    A point of contention is the couple’s 2007 post-nuptial agreement.

    Lockwood was demanding that a post-nuptial agreement that the two had signed in 2007 should be torn up. He said that he had been coerced into signing it. The document said neither party should have a claim on the assets of the other in the event of the marriage breaking down.

    Presley claims nearly all of her $300 million fortune is gone and that she has to pay for two nannies to go along as monitors when her husband visits the children.

    Presley and Lockwood were married in January 2006 and Presley filed for divorce from him in June 2016.

  • Business Advice Solicitors

    Balfour Beatty, the engineering company behind the transformation of the former Olympic Stadium into West Ham’s London Stadium made an £8m profit, after a £199m loss in 2015.

    In the next few years it plans to be part of the High Speed 2 (HS2) project, the new nuclear power stations at Hinkley and Wylfa, and the third runway at Heathrow airport.
