Gordon Ramsay has lost a High Court battle with his father-in-law over a “forged” signature on a property deal after a judge ruled that “regret” over a bad business transaction was not grounds for a legal bid.
The celebrity chef had claimed that a "ghostwriting" machine was used to forge his signature without his authorisation, meaning that he should not be liable for the £640,000–a-year annual rent on an upmarket London pub.
The judge refused Ramsay permission to appeal against his decision. He now faces a legal bill totalling more than £1million.

and the lesson here ........ don't go to Court unless you have to.
Regret over a bad business transaction, he was hardly on solid ground from the start, and surely must have been advised he could lose and face a massive legal bill, or he was so bloody mad and fuming about it he went ahead anyway.
Big Mac was another one who made a bad decision to go to Court after C4 dropped him, and that bad decision cost him a big legal bill. And he was hardly on solid ground either. He was very unlikely to win that case from the start !

@Hound-Dog-2 -- Big Mac decision was mildly surprising; no idea what Ramsay was thinking though -- as you say, best advice is to avoid m'learned friends.
