The High Court affirms the Circuit Court's decision granting a man possession of a family farm, ending a 30-year legal battle with his sister, with the court noting the disproportionate financial burden placed on individuals due to the ability to pursue minor disputes in the High Court, resulting in legal costs vastly exceeding the value of the dispute, and calling for legislative consideration to reverse the trend of diminishing affordable courts and to ensure litigation costs are proportionate to the value of disputes.
