A sex therapist’s four-year legal battle in a case dubbed the UK’s ‘most upmarket eviction row’ has finally ended after she was handed a rare form of restraining order by a civil judge.
Patricia Ramshaw – who styles herself Lady Pea – became involved in a feud with the wealthy owners of the £3,500-a- month Grade II listed Victorian property in 2021.
She claimed the Norfolk property had a range of problems that made it uninhabitable, while the Cator family argued she had breached the terms of her tenancy by keeping a menagerie of dozens of animals there including horses, pigs and sheep.
Lady Pea was finally evicted in June 2023 after a bitter legal wrangle but continued to make civil claims against the owners.
These have now come to an end after she was issued with a civil extended restraining order (CERO), which prevents ‘vexatious’ litigation. Fewer than 200 are currently enforced in England and Wales.
