Magnier sues over failed €15M Barne Estate deal, revealing a "full on war" text in court.

The High Court is hearing a case where bloodstock billionaire John Magnier is suing Richard Thomson-Moore and the Barne Estate over a failed €15 million deal for the Barne Estate. A deleted text from Thomson-Moore's sister, critical of rival bidder Maurice Regan, was revealed in court. The text described the bidding war as "full on war." Regan eventually won with a €22.25 million offer. The Thomson-Moore family argues they never agreed to Magnier's deal without trustee approval.
