After tilting at Scottish windmills and losing, Trump refuses to pay legal bills

Severin Carrell reported yesterday in the Guardian that the Trump Organization is refusing to accept a legal bill of tens of thousands of pounds for the Scottish government’s court costs when it defended against Trump’s lawsuit over the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, an eleven-turbine windfarm in Aberdeen Bay, Scotland. Trump had called the windfarm ‘’monstrous’’, claiming that it would ruin the view from his golf resort at Menie; the wind farm is about three miles away from the clubhouse and 2.4 miles from the course’s southern boundary.

Trump took his case to the courts and eventually lost in the UK supreme court in 2015, which awarded court costs to the Scottish government. Trump’s firm has refused to accept the bill for the costs, so the dispute over the legal bills is now before a court-appointed adjudicator.
