Overview
- Judge Timothy Bowles dismissed Andrew Grijns’s bid for two-thirds of the £3.85 million townhouse and ordered him to vacate.
- Grijns faces legal bills likely to exceed £1 million, including liability for his mother’s estimated £750,000 costs.
- The court ordered payments of £85,000 for each year he stayed after being told to leave in August 2023, and he must account for any rent he received.
- The judge described him as “self-absorbed” and criticised his efforts to question his mother’s capacity and to pursue contempt proceedings against her.
- The court found no assurances granting rights to the property and noted he lived there for over two decades at a discount that saved him more than £1 million.
