Heather Mills throws water over Paul McCartney’s lawyer after verdict

Heather Mills reportedly celebrated being awarded a divorce settlement of £24.3million yesterday by tipping a glass of water over the head of Paul McCartney’s lawyer.

After entering with a bouffant hair do, Fiona Shackleton was spotted with a wet-look don’t when she left the Royal Courts of Justice in London after the 3 1/2 hour hearing yesterday afternoon - and according to eyewitnesses, Heather was behind the soaking.

An inside source told the Sun: “Heather tipped the water over Fiona’s head.”

“She didn’t throw it. It was cool, calm and collected. It trickled down Fiona’s neck.”

“She waited until the hearing was over. The judge would have taken a very dim view of it if he’d seen it.”

Speaking on the steps of the courthouse after the settlement was finalised, Heather told reporters that there was no love lost between the two women: “Fiona Shackleton has very sadly handled this in the worst manner you could ever, ever imagine. She has called me many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair.”

Do you think Heather Mills deserves the £24.3million payout?

Details of the settlement

Many of the details of the case will remain secret but a summary of the judgement was released after the hearing yesterday.

Justice Bennett, who ruled on the case after the warring parties couldn’t reach an agreement, judged that Heather should receive the £24.3million after finding no evidence that Paul was worth any more than £400million. Heather had initially requested a package worth £125million while Paul was offering one worth £15.8million.

In addition to a £16.5million lump sum and retention of £7.8million worth of assets, Heather will also receive £35,000 a year in child support payments for daughter Beatrice and Paul will be responsible for all child-care and school expenses.

The judge dismissed allegations of misconduct by either party during the marriage, deeming them “irrelevant” to the financial settlement, but a condition of the judgement stipulates that both parties are strictly prohibited from publishing or otherwise disclosing information regarding any details of the divorce or marital confidences.

£15.8m might have been his initial offer but if you look at the judgment, you will see that Sir Paul offered Heather Mills a package worth £20m in December 2006, just seven months after they separated. This consisted of a £16.5m lump sum plus assets from the marriage (the house in Hove plus the house near Peasemarsh). The final settlement upped the offer to £24.3m because Heather sold the house near Peasemarsh to pay some debts (so money was included to buy another one). Not sure what the other £1.8m was for but her money was reduced on account of ‘reckless spending’ on her part (in an attempt to deliberately inflate her living costs to justify her case for a substantial settlement) and for wasting time and money on countless re-examination of the results of forensic examination of his wealth (which led to no change to the final figures) at a cost of £500,000 and £400,000 respectively.

Heather Mills constantly refers to her disability and would appear to wallow in it as if it should earn her some respect. She cannot open her mouth without making herself sound ridiculous.
I read a short time ago that she is to employ someone to improve her image and speak for her, well I’m afraid the improvement has to come from within or it doesn’t mean a thing.
The woman appears to be a sandwich short of a picnic.
