Thu 01 Jan 2010Legal ruling on villa may affect Irish owners
IRISH NATIONALS face the possibility of losing property in northern Cyprus following a London appeals court ruling in a case brought by a Greek Cypriot against a British couple. The court ordered David and Linda Orams to demolish the villa they built in the village of Lapithos on land owned by Greek Cypriot refugee Meletios Apostolides and pay him rent and damages.
There is no appeal and the Orams could be compelled to exe- cute the ruling within 14 days or be held in contempt.
