The pub owner who beat Gordon Ramsay in a multi-million pound High Court battle has told how the celebrity chef ruined his life. Gary Love has spoken out for the first time after defeating the celebrity chef in a case which centred on Ramsay's claim that his estranged father-in-law Chris Hutcheson had effectively forged his signature to commit him to a 25-year contract for a London gastropub. But Mr Justice Morgan poured scorn on Ramsay's claim that he had been duped over the use of a signature making machine to sign the agreement, calling his evidence 'entirely implausible' and leaving him facing a £10million rent bill.

I find that when Mr Hutcheson committed Mr Ramsay to the guarantee in the lease of the premises, Mr Hutcheson was acting within the wide general authority conferred on him by Mr @placeholder at all times until Mr Hutcheson's dismissal in October 2010.
