In September 2008 Talbot was ordered to pay back £700 to a garden designer after a £1,000 cheque he had written bounced. At the hearing at Altrincham County Court Talbot maintained that the man, Rob Frier, had gone hugely over budget; while Frier asserted that he had supplied the plans in line with normal practice, and that no-one in the past had complained.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or dispute:
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Your next-door neighbour ... is not a man; he is an environment. He is the barking of a dog; he is the noise of a pianola; he is a dispute about a party wall; he is drains that are worse than yours, or roses that are better than yours.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
