Parliament's master bellringer hit with 100k bill after tearing out neighbours' gate
Briefly

Parliament bellringer Adrian Udal was involved in a dispute with his neighbor over the removal of a front gate. Retired financier Nicholas Partick-Hiley had recently purchased the property for retirement. Udal claimed ownership of the land and justification for his actions. The case was brought to court, where Judge Nicholas Parfitt ruled in favor of Hiley and his wife, stating Udal's actions constituted wanton destruction. Udal has been left with a significant court bill due to the judgment against him.
