WTF. Whilst being distracted by mr agreeable- Ive deflated the front tyre, replaced the inner tube with a brand new one then palm/forehead noticed the rear FLAT tyre. Jeesus I need a drink 🙄
It would have been £625k to her, plus her legal costs, plus their legal costs. So I doubt they would have been going home with £1.7 million. I'd guess at half that.
Imagine for a second that you're the director of a charity. How do you guard against a situation where someone leaves you a substantial sum of money, you think "great, we can finally afford to create a special wildfowl rescue divison and shut that oxygen thief Hora up". Then someone comes out of the woodwork, has a slew of lawyers and valuers all wanting a piece of the pie, you have to appoint your own equally high-powered people to fight them, and when the dust has settled you're left with nothing but a humungous legal bill?
Agree, that woman is heinous. She is well out of order- to hell with her principles and her 'slew of Solicitors' (what are you on? She gave up her job to look after them- so where do these slew of Solicitors come from??)
The Director of the Charity. How much does he earn annually? What is the RSPCA's annual income and I wonder what this womans was in the year she took them to court?
I think you'll be surprised. Also, why are their pictures of kittens on various pages of their website?
She was a college lecturer I think. Not on the breadline. I reckon you fancy her, and that's skewing your judgment.
Don't this happen all the time but because it's a charity and millions it's deemed news worthy.
The RSPCA are well able to afford paying someone off if needed - I think they have something like £200m in cash reserves
Something funny happened on Sunday- Salendine Nook Hudds- Westie ran across dual carriageway infront of our car. Jumped out, grabbed him and spent the next 30mins knocking on doors and asking people if they knew of him (tartan collar/no details). Rang various numbers- The Dog Warden/stray folk is council, nothing to do with the RSPCA according to the various options. Anyway, asked another woman and she pointed us to a house. Knocked on door, door opens- 'oh thats where he is, he must have escaped when my daughter came round' (shuts door as soon as she said that)- not even a thank you.
GF said to me as we walked back to the car 'I told you we should have kept him for Bingo' (hearless git!)

As I keep saying, they'd have gained £1.7 million over what they have now (presumably more given they'd have avoided court costs).

Parrots, Swans & now a Westie
You're a proper Johnny Morris you are 😉

Hora is the one on the left, I assume?
The one in the arms of the on one the left.
Obliged to Seek is different to chase something down through the courts isnt it?
That is not true Hora.
It was [i]her[/i] that did the 'chasing through the courts'. It was [i]her[/i] that needed to prove something, not them.
Don't make unfounded allegations.
ernie_lynch, so she chased restorative justice. Semantics. £50m of their annual income comes from bequests- I can now see why they fought this. They are appealling. So its not a case of quashing an Ant but stopping a precedent? ourmanupnorth- we need you..
I can understand the rspca chasing this as far as its gone. But they've lost and should leave it at that. On the balance of things it seems the court has got it right. I hate all this disinheriting your children cr@p, I prefer the French system were you can't and your children have right of inheritence.

she WAS one until giving it up to look after... Her parents. Hmmm
Remember folks, Coleslaw is a dish best served cold.
taxi25- same system in Italy.
If a parent dies the children get an equal percentage with the remaining parent.
Difficult if the remaining parent will struggle and have to sell a property.
The system seems to work well though as it is known from the outset that when you have children what will happen in the future.
Everyone make a will and make sure you have you're marbles, this includes childless couples. Sorting out stuff intestate is a nightmare.
Of course the state always gets their large slice too.
Times today- At the begining the RSPCA were making plans to sell the house whilst the Daughter frantically sought help to have this stopped. The the Daughter offered a settlement to the RSPCA of 3/4's to go to the RSPCA- later on in the case (probably when the snivelling toads realised that the outlook was looking bleak) they then offered her a settlement of £650k+her costs. Funnily, by that point she didnt settle.
So they are appealling- adding more costs to the legal bill. They obviously realise that people who dispute future bequests might actually have a case to answer.
Love the David and Goliath stories. I think the RSPCA needs to focus its attention on the calls for help it gets rather than on revenue.
Give your money to the PDSA folks instead of the litigous- who have a known track record of zealously chasing select cruelty cases for publicity.
