Jeremy Clarkson loses Isle of Man path access dispute

Jeremy Clarkson has lost a legal battle in a dispute over public access to paths near his Isle of Man lighthouse cottage holiday home.

The Top Gear presenter and his wife, Frances, claimed that having a public path so close to their property was a breach of their human rights.

A court judgement in the Isle of Man on 26 April ruled against the claim.

Deemster David Doyle came down in favour of the "rights and freedoms" of the general public to walk in the area.

Speaking in 2009, Frances Clarkson spoke of her family's "ordeal" over the access dispute.
