JUDGE DISMISSES CONNERY LAWSUIT
LATEST: A New York city judge has dismissed a $30 million (£15 million) lawsuit filed against actor SEAN CONNERY alleging he was a rude and noisy neighbour.
State Supreme Court Justice DEBRA JAMES threw the case out of court Friday (29DEC06), on a technicality after the plaintiff failed to rewrite the petition in the case.
DR BURTON SULTAN complained that Connery blasted loud music in his Upper East Side apartment and carried out a poor renovation job that attracted rats.
The lawsuit called the 76-year-old star a "rude, foul-mouthed, fat old man," which led the judge to order that the petition be rewritten in a more professional manner.
Connery and his wife, MICHELINE, denied the allegations and contended that Sultan was a "tyrant" who had tried to block them from making much needed repairs and who was trying to evict them from their apartment.
Sultan’s lawyer said his client intended to appeal the judge’s decision.
