Lugner Villa legal battle escalates as Simone fights for her home in court
The ongoing legal battle over the Lugner Villa will enter a crucial phase on December 19. Simone Lugner, the widow of late businessman Richard Lugner, will face the Lugner und Söhne Private Foundation in court. The hearing will address Simone's right to live in the villa and a disputed payment of nearly 80,000 euros in retroactive usage fees.
Simone Lugner and her lawyer, Florian Höllwarth, have consistently denied the allegations against her. They maintain that Simone has the right to reside in the villa. The upcoming hearing will delve into chat messages exchanged between Simone and Richard Lugner, which are expected to provide context to the dispute. This marks a new phase in the legal battle, which began in May when Simone was ordered to vacate the property due to allegations of neglecting her late husband's care. Both sides will present witnesses to support their claims. Höllwarth has stated his readiness to defend Simone's residential rights up to the Supreme Court if necessary.
The December 19 hearing promises to shed more light on the complex legal and emotional issues surrounding the Lugner Villa. Both parties are expected to present compelling arguments, with Simone Lugner's legal team prepared to defend her rights to the fullest extent.
