Legal bill for Van Morrison’s wife’s row with neighbours reaches €875k

A legal dispute between the wife of singer Van Morrison and her neighbours has so far cost her €875,000, the High Court has heard.

The figure was revealed as the court decided to postpone until October a scheduled June 30 hearing for the case being brought by Michelle Morrison against Dalkey neighbours, Desmond and Mary Kavanagh.

The case concerns proposals by the Kavanaghs to landscape their property, which Ms Morrison says will interfere with views from her home. The Kavanaghs say the views never existed and wanted the case to go on this month because another planting season would be lost.
