Sean Connery misses court appointment

MARBELLA (Agencies) Sir Sean and Lady Connery should have been in court in Marbella yesterday but failed to turn up. Instead, their lawyers sent the judge in the 'Goldfinger' case (really creative name, that) a letter excusing the Connery's absence due to 'age and health'. As we reported here, the case, a spin-off of the infamous Malaya case, is about the Connerys having sold their home in Puerto Banús, which gave way to an allegedly illegal development called Malibú (photo). The finances of the deal are apparently somewhat opaque, so the judge wants to make more enquiries about them.
