Retired couple faces £3.7 million court bill over light obstruction claim

A retired couple, Stephen and Jennifer Powell, who sued developers over the Arbor Tower on London’s South Bank for blocking light to their home, may face £3.7 million in legal costs after the court denied their request for an injunction to alter or demolish the building. Despite winning £500,000 in damages, the judge ruled that the developers were the successful party in the case, as the couple’s primary goal of obtaining an injunction was not achieved. The decision on costs will be made later.
