An accountant fears he will have to sell his new home following a £200,000 legal bill over an argument about Japanese knotweed growing at his old house. He now believes he suffered a ‘miscarriage of justice’.
An accountant fears he will have to sell his new home following a £200,000 legal bill over some Japanese knotweed growing at his old house., in 2018 he signed a form declaring there was no knotweed on the property.
Henderson had answered ‘no’ to the question on a property information form that asked whether it had been affected by knotweed, with the accountant arguing he ‘reasonably believed’ he was telling the truth when he answered the question. Judge Jan Luba, sitting at Central London County Court, eventually ruled in Mr Downing’s favour and awarded costs and damages against Henderson totalling more than £200,000.
‘I’m hoping that it won’t come to that but I haven’t got the funds to appeal and am now going to have to work out how I will pay these costs and damages,’ he said.
