Legal Battle Over Farm Ownership: Couple Sues Angela’s Parents for Alleged Promises Made

The battle over a family farm in Cornwall has taken a legal turn, as Angela Heyes and her husband Neil are suing Angela’s mother for ownership of the property based on alleged promises made to them.

The couple claims that they were assured by Angela’s parents that they would inherit the farm, prompting them to uproot their lives and move to Cornwall in 2014. Angela left her job and Neil began working on the farm full-time, with the belief that they would eventually take over the property.

However, Angela’s mother is fighting the claim, arguing that the promises made were not clear or certain enough to grant the couple ownership of the land. She also points out that Angela has siblings who may have a claim to the property as well.

The case has now reached court, with Judge Matthews ruling that the couple’s case is “weak” but not without merit. He has ordered the parties to try to settle their differences outside of court, warning that a trial could have devastating financial consequences for Angela and Neil if they were to lose.

The outcome of this legal battle will have significant implications for the future of the farm and the Heyes family. Stay tuned for updates as the case unfolds.
