District Judge Veal. Final hearing concerning W’s claim in financial remedy proceedings for a beneficial interest in two properties which had been bought and renovated by H and the intervenors, H’s parents. District Judge Veal found that W had been dishonest in pursuing her claims and had presented her case in a ‘nebulous way’ which must have felt ‘like a real slap in the face’ for the intervenors.
