Vijay Mallya settles for more time with Swiss bank to pay off mortgage for plush London home
FirstpostThe prime property has been referred to as the “high-class home for Vijay Mallya, his family members and United Breweries Group corporate guests" London: Embattled liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya has settled a legal dispute with Swiss bank UBS to allow him time until April next year to pay off a mortgage loan for his central London home. “The Defendants [Mallya> should nonetheless be permitted to remain in occupation of the Property… in order to allow, if possible, the Loan and Mortgage to be redeemed, but that, if redemption has not taken place by 30 April 2020 the Claimant [UBS> shall be immediately entitled to possession,” reads Judge Barker’s order. The prime property, which overlooks Regent’s Park in London, has been referred to as the “high-class home for Vijay Mallya and his family members and United Breweries Group corporate guests” during the court proceedings. The court order issued this week goes in favour of the bank’s stand as it acknowledges that UBS has an “immediate right to possession” and stipulates that unless the mortgage has been redeemed by 30 April next year, Mallya and the co-defendants must immediately hand over possession of the apartment by 4 pm on that date.
