Troubled law firm Ross Harper has been ordered by a court to pay almost £50,000 in unpaid office rent as it emerges that a number of staff have now left the company amid a major investigation of its finances.

The bill relates to the company's former premises in Paisley Road, Glasgow, with the owner of the property taking the claim for the outstanding sum to Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Anthony Deutsch ruled that Ross Harper must pay £49,810 to Hopetoun Estates Developments Company, plus interest and costs.
