Next time I have a row with my husband's father, I will definitely sequester his PC.

Gordon Ramsay, the Michelin-starred British chef, won a court order allowing him to search the computers of his father-in-law Chris Hutcheson. The order was needed because e-mails relating to an employment case may have been intercepted, Ramsay’s lawyer, Thomas Croxford, told a hearing today. Hutcheson, who was fired as chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Holdings in October, and Sara Stewart, the company’s former accountant, are suing the chef.
