HE chose two of the finest legal brains in the country. She chose a make-up artist, a personal trainer – and her sister.
On the day the biggest div-orce battle in British legal history began in earnest, Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills took starkly different approaches.
With £825million at stake, the warring couple looked suitably apprehensive as they came face to face before a judge in a bid to end one of the most bitter matrimonial settlement negotiations in memory.
Experts believe that Miss Mills’ decision to go it alone and present her own case could prove costly.
They say the judge could award anything between £20million and £200million of Sir Paul’s fortune to her, depending on how convinced he is by the arguments put forward.
The experts predict that Miss Mills faces a savaging from Sir Paul’s high-powered legal team.
Ex-glamour model Miss Mills – in pink blouse, black skirt and high-heeled leather boots – left her blacked-out Mercedes people carrier in the disabled parking bay at London’s High Court, and looked stony-faced as she strode into the historic Royal Courts of Justice.
Her estranged husband arrived an hour later, ditching his trademark trainers in favour of a pin-stripe suit, white shirt, black and white knitted scarf and black shoes.
The former Beatle, 65, seemed unfazed by the extraordinary media frenzy which greeted him. It included two helicopters buzzing overhead and photographers three-to-four deep at every entrance.
