McCartney divorce battle to be decided by judge

Heather Mills's divorce battle over Paul McCartney's reputed £825m (€1.1bn) fortune will be decided by a High Court judge.

It will be up to Mr Justice Bennett to divide the spoils of their four-year marriage after the couple spent a week and a day in court behind closed doors.

Nicholas Mostyn QC, who has been representing the former Beatle in his fight with the former model, agreed as he left court that the judge had reserved his ruling.

This means rumours the couple had reached a settlement at the weekend were unfounded.
