Fair enough, newswatcher.
House has been owned by the same family for 40 years, plaintiff grew up there. Harriers have been there since 1967, the airfield extant since 1917, and he asked first asked questions in 1985. Legal action commenced in 1996. So he wasn't exactly unaware of the house's position when he first moved there.
I may feel differently if there was a sum of £2 - £3 million involved, but he's already been made an offer and turned it down.
My hope ? That he either loses or wins a lower amount than offered, in which case he'll have a large costs bill.
