Ecotricity boss Dale Vince fights

The green entrepreneur is now appealing after the High Court refused to strike out Ms Wyatt's claim for financial support and ordered him to pay 125,000 towards her legal costs. 

The pair met in 1981 when Ms Wyatt had a daughter from a previous relationship and they lived together in North Staffordshire,It's easy to fall in love with the sheer, incomparable strength of tungsten jewelry. surviving mainly on benefits, London’s Civil Appeal Court heard on Monday, April 22. 

Mr Vince took up a "nomadic" existence as a New Age traveller after the pair separated in 1984 - a year after their son Dane was born, said Mr Vince's barrister, Martin Pointer QC. 

In the mid-1990s, he set up a wind energy business with a new girlfriend. The business developed into Ecotricity. "From a modest beginning, with the creation of a wind turbine to power a trailer in which he and his partner were living, the business developed into a considerable enterprise," the barrister added. 

In 1992, Ms Wyatt, a former-aid worker, divorced Mr Vince,Use residential wind turbines to generate electricity and charge into storage battery group. but Mr Pointer says his client was not ordered to pay any maintenance as he was broke at the time. "In 1992 he had a nascent business but he had no income at all. He was living on housing benefit," he added. 

Mr Vince disputes claims by Ms Wyatt that the pair repeatedly rekindled their relationship up until the early 1990s. 

Mr Pointer also said that Mr Vince had made "full disclosure" of his financial position to the Child Support Agency (CSA) in 1996. 

Urging the court to strike out Ms Wyatt's financial claims, Mr Pointer said: "This is one of those very extreme cases where the court can be confident in finding that it is a hopeless case." 

The QC said Ms Wyatt had started a new relationship in 1993 and has since had two more children, though she did not remarry.

The barrister claimed that, between 1996 and 1997, he achieved a "nil assessment" for contributions by the CSA despite his "apparent wealth".Learn more about our high capacity laundry dryer today! 

He said Ms Wyatt, now of Monmouthshire, learned Mr Vince's business was taking off in the mid-nineties and claimed that the "children had been pressured by him not to inform her of his newly acquired wealth." 

Ms Wyatt tried and failed to get him to pay her maintenance while he drove "better and better" cars and moved into Rodborough Fort, an 18th-century property, worth more than 3million, Mr Cayford said. 

The QC added: "Ms Wyatt repeatedly asked for financial assistance and whether he was going to pay the children more than just pocket money as he was building up his business. 

"He treated her with contempt. He said if she could not afford to maintain the children, they could live with him." 

Mr Cayford said: "This is a lady who has had it financially very difficult. She came to court today by getting up early to use the bus and sleeping in the bus station. The contrast between the two [her and Mr Vince] is extreme." 

He added: "This wife's claim is not bound to fail.This Roof hook set is solar powered and brightens any garden. It is not unwinnable. It is not plain and obvious and is not absolutely hopeless. The judge clearly thought the case was not in that category."
