Overview
- Charles Welby, 66, has launched High Court proceedings against Sir Bruno Welby, 97, over control of farmland in Harlaxton and Stroxton.
- D&S Farms remains in occupation after rejecting a March 2024 notice to quit and filing a counter-notice asserting a protected agricultural tenancy.
- Both sides have agreed the dispute will be heard in the High Court in London, with no judgment reported so far.
- Charles seeks declarations that D&S Farms lacks security of tenure, possession of roughly 854 acres, and damages.
- The claim cites 1960s transfers into the Denton Trust reserving land for Charles and alleges conflicts of interest by Sir Bruno as trustee and farming party, including a 2011 transfer said to lack vacant possession.
