The woman at the centre of a long-running divorce battle over a disputed fortune has been told by a judge she may have looked a gift horse in the mouth when turning down a £300 million settlement.
Michelle Young's search for businessman Scot Young's money was also likened to "trying to locate a submarine without sonar" by her lawyer as the case appeared once again in court.
Mr Justice Moor suggested that Mrs Young may have missed an opportunity when she rejected the £300 million offer from Mr Young four years ago.
Mr Young has told the court that the 2009 settlement suggestion was not serious and was made after he had been drinking, but Mrs Young says it indicated that her husband was wealthy.
"If it was genuine, why didn't (Mrs Young) accept it? Gift horse and mouth come to mind," the judge said.
