Family Feud Over £80m Farm Business Heads to High Court

A legal battle erupts among the Abrey family over claims of exclusion due to Scientology beliefs, with an interim injunction now in place.

Thomas Abrey is suing his uncles and cousins, accusing them of excluding him from the family farm business due to his Scientology beliefs.
The farm, RG Abrey Farms, spans 6,500 acres in Norfolk and Suffolk and is valued at £80 million, producing potatoes, onions, and carrots.
Thomas claims his authority was undermined and he was removed as a director, while his relatives argue his management style is overbearing.
An interim court ruling has granted Thomas a temporary injunction to prevent his exclusion from the business until a full trial is held.
The family dispute has caused a significant breakdown in relations, with allegations of a toxic work environment and misconduct being contested.
