Shay Given

Former model Jane Given says she should be able to keep the £200000 (€229000) supercar and lavish ring businessman Andrew Ralph paid for, despite dumping ...

Mr Ralph had also "announced by email to Ms Given that he would be attending her home in the UK to take the DBX and he said: 'DBX – this had intended to be a wedding gift. In the circumstances, the vehicle was never gifted to your client." The engagement ring was also gifted to our client." He also claimed the engagement ring, saying that he would split the proceeds as a goodwill gesture." "They both enjoyed expensive cars. As a gentleman I will give you half the money (which pays for school fees) and the £80,000 (€91,500) back. "For example, on Monday 19 October 2020 with pictures of the car, Mr Ralph wrote 'It's your car! There has and will not be a wedding and the car is in my name and so remains mine. Mr Ralph's lawyers shot back: "Whilst the vehicle was intended to be a wedding gift, the reality is that the wedding did not take place. He said that Ms Given "relies upon" the WhatsApp messages "as evidence" that the car and ring were handed over to her as "an absolute gift" and cannot be reclaimed by her ex. But Ms Given is fighting the case, claiming that both the ring and the car were "gifts" that her ex has no right to now claim back. He says the car was "a wedding present" and since the wedding between them didn't happen it should be returned to him.
