A Scottish caravan park is threatening legal action if a family of six fails to move out of their mobile home by Friday.
Robert Williamson's family of six faces having their utilities cut off by the end of the working week, the Press & Journal reported.
The retired prison officer claims he owns the caravan, but a fraud investigation is currently underway at the Silver Sands Holiday Complex in Lossiemouth over claims that mobile homes had been sold to multiple owners.
Hand-written receipts were given to a number of people who thought they had bought caravans at the site, only to find that their holiday homes had also been sold to others in a similar fashion.
"The directors are saying I cannot prove I own the caravan until a court case is over," Mr Williamson told the newspaper.
"But they cannot prove that I do not own the caravan."
The 61-year-old explained that he and his family will remain at the site until it is proven that they are not the owners.
Meanwhile, we report on how an agent representing a gypsy community in the area has called fears over a proposed static caravan site "irrational".
