A judge ruled in favour of the company at an initial hearing but Mrs Grant appealed his judgment.
Now a second judge has intervened in an attempt to resolve the dispute, and told the parties there will have to be a retrial if they do not reach a settlement in the next three months. Judge Timothy Walsh told the appeal hearing in Exeter: “It is an unusual case.” He warned that the legal costs would run into thousands of pounds for a “relatively minor matter”.
Jonathan Ward, for Mrs Grant, said the earlier court judgment was “fatally flawed” and any changes made should take into account “good estate management and after consultation with the lessees of the flats in the block impose such reasonable regulations”.
Prof Burridge told the court Mrs Grant could not see the washing lines from her apartment and he “would not force her to look at his underwear”. He claimed drying washing inside the flats can cause because of problems with damp as the building is located next to the river. He called the matter a “minor dispute” and a “complete waste of time”, adding that there were “more important issues than two temporary rotary lines being erected for a few hours on sunny days to dry washing in a secluded area”.
