A UK court orders Sandra Thomas, 65, to repay £2.6 million to her late mother’s estate following a dispute with her brother over Jeanne MacDougall’s will and handling of assets. Multiple reports say the disagreement centres on allegations that Thomas and her husband, Philip Thomas, withdrew and spent money from Jeanne MacDougall’s accounts. The outlets describe claims that funds were used for high-end spending, including meals at The Ivy, holidays, new cars, shopping trips, and costs associated with their daughter’s wedding at the Savoy. The court action is framed in the reporting as a fight between Thomas and her builder brother, who argues he was left with little from the estate. According to the coverage, the case also includes claims of undue influence and that properties were handed over to Thomas, including three properties and the family home. While the reports differ in emphasis and the specific language used, they broadly agree that the court directs Thomas to return £2.6 million to the estate as a result of its findings in the inheritance dispute.
