Judge has bad news for couple fighting dog ban

A High Court judge told a couple who are fighting against their dog’s eviction from their penthouse apartment that, even though he was a dog lover, they were unlikely to win the case.

Sir Geoffrey Vos told Gabby and Florian Kuehn: “I don’t see how you can win this case.”

Mr Kuehn, a banker, and his wife, a recruitment consultant, were banned from keeping Vinnie, their Maltese-yorkshire terrier cross, at their flat in Limehouse, east London, after they moved there in 2015.

The couple challenged that decision at the Mayor’s & City of London Court, but lost their case in February last year. The judge reserved his ruling until a later date.
