A dispute between Charles Saatchi and the landlord of the premises where he keeps his art collection moved to the High Court in London yesterday, where the Saatchi Gallery faced a barrage of claims over its occupation of the County Hall site on the South Bank of the Thames, including breach of its lease.
Since the gallery opened in April 2003, the family-owned Shirayama Shokusan corporation, owner of County Hall, has issued writs against Danovo Ltd, the gallery operator. The Japanese company wants to evict the gallery to stop it using parts of the building it says are not covered by a lease issued by Cadogan Leisure Investments.
Christopher Pymont, QC, for Shirayama and Cadogan, told the judge, Sir Donald Rattee: “Relations between the parties soon deteriorated.” Mr Saatchi made defamatory remarks to Shirayama’s European representative, Masakazu Okamoto, and his wife, Mr Pymont said. The hearing continues today.
