A former yacht club captain, Stefan Oloffs, is cleared of harassment charges brought in connection with a dispute involving the club’s commodore, Richard Phillips. Multiple reports describe how Oloffs, after suspecting Phillips of allegedly dodging barge mooring fees for his 80ft Dutch houseboat, pursued complaints and correspondence related to mooring arrangements and alleged preferential treatment. One outlet says Oloffs created a website about Phillips and wrote to the Port of London Authority. Another outlet reports that Oloffs led a campaign against the commodore and was accused of “hounding” a senior officer, including claims that the commodore received preferential treatment when attempting to moor his barge at the club. The High Court case results in Oloffs being cleared of harassment. The reporting is consistent on the parties involved—Oloffs and Phillips—and on the general context: a mooring-fee dispute and allegations of preferential treatment, which escalated into a harassment allegation that is not upheld in court.
