A Scottish property dealer said to be worth £400 million was today given a six-month jail term after a High Court judge ruled that he disobeyed orders to provide financial details to his estranged wife and was in contempt of court.
Mr Justice Moor said Scot Young, 51, from Dundee had been in "flagrant" contempt during a long-running High Court cash fight with Michelle Young, 48.
The judge described one explanation Mr Young had given for not complying with orders as "absurd" and said another response was "next to useless".
