"Peter Leonard, 42, and wife Kelly, 46, sued octogenarian Charolais sheep breeder Muriel Whiston during a six-year row, after accusing her of being "abusive and aggressive" to visitors and delivery drivers at their four-bedroom 33-acre Shropshire home. The couple, who also run a refuge for rescued rabbits at their property, clashed with Mrs Whiston when she put new gates across a shared track."
"Mr and Mrs Leonard said the gate interfered with their right of way over the part of the track on her land, stopping delivery drivers from using the area beyond the gate for turning their vehicles round and blocking Mrs Leonard from reversing her Land Rover Defender 130 out of their courtyard."
Peter Leonard, a 42-year-old hotel construction boss, and his wife Kelly won a prolonged legal battle against 80-year-old Charolais sheep breeder Muriel Whiston over a shared track on their Shropshire property. The dispute centered on gates that Whiston installed across the shared track entrance to her smallholding, which she insisted be kept closed to protect her sheep. The Leonards claimed the gates interfered with their right of way and prevented delivery drivers from accessing their 33-acre, 900,000-pound farmhouse and blocked Kelly from reversing her Land Rover from their courtyard. The couple also accused Whiston of being abusive and aggressive toward their visitors and delivery drivers during the six-year conflict.
