Trump firm 'refusing to pay' legal bill for windfarm case (10/8/2019)

Donald Trump’s family firm is refusing to accept a legal bill worth tens of thousands of pounds after he lost a lengthy court battle against a windfarm near his Aberdeenshire golf course, according to the Scottish government.

A Scottish court ruled in February this year the Trump Organization had to pay the Scottish government’s legal costs after his attempt to block an 11-turbine windfarm in Aberdeen Bay ended with defeat in the UK supreme court in 2015.

The Scottish government has said Trump’s firm has refused to accept the sum it had put forward or reach an agreement on costs, so the case is now in the hands of a court-appointed adjudicator.

Trump would pay without threatening litigation. What a grifter or in the language of his boss, a "blatnoy". A Russian slang expression for "criminal".

there was never any contract to question. Trump lost case -- and was assigned payment of legal fees in process.

I have friends from Scotland staying with me, they tell me that the Scots hate Trump with a passion, in fact every time they drive by his golf club they raise the middle finger to him!

Send in the constables and close it down until the fee is paid. Stop letting the ugly fat wanker slime everyone in the world for his own profit and never ever do the right thing or pay his freaking bills.
