Heather Mills to make new court appeal

domingo, 23 de marzo de 2008 |

Heather Mills could face a new court battle with Paul McCartney as she steps up her calls for the release of full court transcripts of her divorce proceedings.

The former model was awarded £24.3 million of McCartney's fortune at a High Court hearing on Monday, but she has faced fresh criticism after the judge's official ruling was made public.

It has been revealed that Mr Justice Bennett viewed Mills as a "less than impressive" witness. He described her testimony as "not just inconsistent and inaccurate but also less than candid".

In a statement released to GMTV on Friday, Heather claimed that the full transcripts would "paint a far fairer and truthful picture" of the divorce battle.

Mills's solicitor David Rosen has confirmed that she plans to appeal in court for the release of her testimony. She will also ask for the removal of a gagging order which forbids her from speaking about her time with McCartney, who may be called to court to challenge the requests of his former wife.

Mr Rosen said: "Heather is very frustrated. She feels that it's very unfair that the judgment should be printed in full when she cannot defend herself.

"She's planning to apply to lift the ban. It was damning enough that the judge made his judgment so clear and vividly - no one deserves that. It's like a prolonged hanging for her."
