一位法官裁定, 2025年11月5日, 议员Gavin Pepper不会支付法律费用, 由债务公司Pepper Finance提起诉讼。 A judge ruled Nov. 5, 2025, that councillor Gavin Pepper won't pay legal costs in a lawsuit by debt firm Pepper Finance.

2025年11月5日,Cregan法官裁定,一位议员Gavin Pepper不必在由Pepper Finance债务公司及其总经理Ian Wigglesworth提起的案件中支付法律费用。 On November 5, 2025, Judge Mr Justice Cregan ruled that Gavin Pepper, a councillor, would not have to pay legal costs in a case brought by debt firm Pepper Finance and its managing director Ian Wigglesworth. 争议始于Pepper在Wigglesworth家外为社交媒体录制视频, 引发紧急禁令。 The dispute began after Pepper recorded video footage outside Wigglesworth’s home for social media, prompting an urgent injunction. 尽管Pepper Finance要求发出全额费用命令,但法官将请求称为“压抑性”和不必要的,注意到Pepper提前承认了索赔要求,表示愿意支付2 500欧元的费用,并与法院的要求合作。 Though Pepper Finance sought a full costs order, the judge called the request “oppressive” and unnecessary, noting Pepper had conceded the claims early, offered to pay €2,500 in costs, and cooperated with court requirements. 法官强调,判给费用将有可能加剧紧张局势,最终决定不下达任何费用命令是适当的。 The judge emphasized that awarding costs would risk worsening tensions and ultimately decided no costs order was appropriate.
