SOCCER'S John Terry has coughed up £1.74million to builders - after they sued him over three flash flats he put a ten per cent deposit on.
足球运动员约翰•特里已经交给建造者174万英镑——在他们起诉特里只为他的三幢公寓交了10%的首付后。
The England and Chelsea ace, 30, was accused in a High Court writ of refusing to complete the deal when the balance fell due.
英格兰国家队和切尔西双料队长,30岁的特里在余款到期后因拒绝完成交易受到高级法院指控。
Terry's £174,000 downpayment on the pads in a luxury new development amounted to barely a week's wages. The balance was due in April, according to Galliard Homes - but he allegedly refused to stump up for the apartments, which were priced at £660,000, £555,000, and £527,500.
特里为新的豪宅支付的首付款17.4万英镑基本上只相当于他一周的薪水。据Galliard置业说余款应该在四月份付清,但他拒绝为这些公寓支付完剩余款项,三套公寓的价格分别为66万、55.5万和52.75万。
Last night Galliard had finally got its money - as it emerged fellow England stars Sol Campbell and Shaun Wright-Phillips were sued too.
昨晚Galliard置业终于拿到了钱 ,在它同样起诉了英格兰球星Sol Campbell 和Shaun Wright-Phillips之后。
Campbell, 36, is understood to have also settled but action against Wright-Phillips, 29, is thought to be ongoing.
36岁的Campbell的诉讼已经解决,而29岁的Wright-Phillips的诉讼仍在持续中。
They each snapped up two flats in the converted printworks in Stockwell, South-West London. Their deals amounted to an eventual £1.2million each. All three players were sued by Kilmorie Investments, a division of Galliard.
他们都在伦敦西南部的斯托克韦尔抢购了两套公寓,价值各为120万英镑。这三名运动员都被Galliard公司的Kilmorie投资部门起诉。
In another soccer-related twist, Deborah Dowie - wife of ex-Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic boss Iain - is also being taken to court.
在另一起与足球界有关的案件中,前水晶宫和查尔顿竞技老板Lain的妻子Deborah Dowie也被起诉到了法院。
Terry's spokesman confirmed last night the deal had been completed. Galliard described the settlement as "very amicable" - adding: "There's no problem any more."
特里的发言人昨晚证实了这起交易已经完成。Galliard公司描述这次解决是“非常友好的”,补充说“现在再也没有任何问题了。”
Spokesmen for Campbell and Wright-Phillips refused to comment.
Campbell和Wright-Phillips的发言人则拒绝发表评论。
