After being ordered to cough up the cash, Rebecca Shortt says she will be put under 'huge financial strain,' and there is 'zero chance' of paying Joseph Corré nearly £5,000. The young mother was unable to pay rent for six months from April to September at his cattle farm, which he owns between Bude and Morwenstow in North Cornwall. The 31-year-old, who has since relocated to mid-Cornwall, was taken to Bodmin County Court by the son of fashion designer Dame Vivienne and Sex Pistols boss Malcom McLaren, who claimed that it was not about the money. She told Deputy District Judge Inglis that she refused to pay as a result of a water leak, there was not enough water on the fields she used for her dairy cows and the farm was 'untenable.'
