    That shouldn't be something you take into account unless it's explicitly stated somewhere. Dangerous words to be throwing around and there's been no reason to speculate that this is anything other than what we have read so far.


    The point is you have no idea if this elderly man is/was nice. If your child treats you like that I would suspect you weren't very nice to them or good at raising them. There will be exceptions but we have no idea what he was like as a father.

    Any chance the three of them are all in on a scam to raise the $$$ on gofundme?

    So it's better too think he is an abuser or something and the daughter is happy for her daughter too be around such an awfully bad man?

    It is very similar because the sale was deemed illegal but we still lost ownership due to time passing. That is exactly what happen to the man here.

    Or it's not very similar because one is someone having their house taken from them and one is a carparking space.

    But at no point have allegations of abuse being put forward and to put it out there is pointless in this thread and dangerous in the real world. Once someone is even barely accused of something like that it's impossible to shake even if completely innocent. It shouldn't be something that's bandied around with 'what if's' and 'but how do we know he didnt's'.

    One a completely unrelated note. Anyone have a faulty hair straighteners?

    What he was/is like as a father means nothing in this argument. It is HIS house. HE built it. HE was living there. SHE stole it. She just seems like a nasty piece of work to be honest.

    Is it faulty? We can't make the fire look like an accident otherwise :D

    Surely the fact that people have come to this mans aid to buy his house for him should restore your faith in humanity.

    On one hand you have a spiteful cow that steals a house from an old man, on the other you have hundreds (possibly thousands) of people who give money to help an old man keep his house.

    Why would the one persons actions colour your opinion of an entire species over the actions of many?

    I lost a parking space on a similar ruling. Won the case that we owned the space but as the developer had sold the space years earlier we lost on appeal.

    It was only when the new owners of the office block,that shared parking entrance, started telling the residents they owned the spaces.


    I was more annoyed by the lawyer and barrister telling us we would win as they knew that we wouldn't keep the spaces as we would lose on appeal.

    If I were you I'd be more concerned that you were apparently living in a parking space.

    Agreed the reaction from the general public is great.
    But it still baffles me how someone can do this to their own father in the first place. :confused:
    Also I wouldn't put it down to the actions of one person. Lets face it, how often do you hear about similar cases? (current incident in Donegal) although its mother / brothers suing the daughter in this case and it seems to be just for kicks.
