Def Leppard guitarist Rick Savage has been directed by the High Court not to dispose of a property in Dalkey, Co Dublin, worth some £3.5 million. Proceedings against Mr Savage and a company, Cathrish Ltd, have been taken by Mr Robert Frewen, of East 79th Street, New York, and his wife.
Mr Frewen said he and his wife own No 1, Strawberry Hill House, Vico Road. Since 1998, water had been percolating from the property overhead owned by the defendants. He and his wife had lost about £100,000 in rent.
A newspaper report had said Mr Savage "is leaving" Ireland. He was apprehensive that he would be unable to recover loss of income, building costs incurred because of water damage and his legal costs which amounted to some £300,000.
