Robert Stokes loses £850,000 court battle after suing grandson Sebastian over house and wedding money

  • A 90-year-old businessman failed to recover £850,000 from his grandson in the High Court.
  • The money paid towards a house and luxury wedding was ruled to be a series of gifts.
  • The family dispute followed a breakdown in a relationship once described as especially close.

A family dispute over £850,000 in property and wedding payments has ended in the High Court, with a judge ruling that a 90-year-old businessman cannot recover the money he gave to his grandson because it was gifted rather than loaned.

Robert Stokes, the fourth-generation owner of Stokes Tiles, had claimed the money advanced to his grandson, Sebastian Stokes, was intended as a loan and should be repaid. But the court found there was no evidence of any agreement requiring the money to be returned, dismissing the claim in full.
