English Court Upholds Only €46,000 of €381,000 Italian Inheritance Award

A dispute over an inheritance has stretched on for nearly two decades, centered on the omission of Davide Sidoli from his father's will. Antonio and Andrea Sidoli, who argued they were entitled to a share as heirs, faced obstacles while pursuing their claim in England. An Italian court had recognized their entitlement and ordered payment of more than €381,000. When they sought to enforce that ruling in England, however, the English court allowed only about €46,000 of the award to stand.
