High Court hands down judgment in Iya Patarkatsishvili & Yevhen Hunyak -v- William Woodward-Fisher
On Monday 10th February 2025, the High Court handed down judgment in the case of Iya Patarkatsishvili & Vevhen Hunyak -v- William Woodward-Fisher, a claim to rescind the purchase of a £32million townhouse in Notting Hill on the basis of allegedly fraudulent answers to pre-contract enquiries.
The alleged fraud, which has been widely covered in the national press, concerned the failure to disclose an alleged moth infestation at the property in circumstances where one enquiry had asked if there had ever been a “vermin infestation”.
The trial was listed for 8 days in November 2024 before Mr Justice Fancourt.
John McGhee KC and James McCreath (instructed by Squire Patton Boggs) acted for the Claimants and Jonathan Seitler KC and Francesca Mitchell (instructed by Mishcon de Reya) acted for the Defendant.
