Court action against Lord Charles Brockett for unpaid council tax on his Fulham flat was withdrawn by his local authority yesterday during a short hearing at Hammersmith Magistrates Court.
The peer, 62, of The Piper Building, Peterborough Road, Fulham, (pictured) had faced a complaint for a council tax liability order for non-payment of council tax and costs of £1,367.52 brought by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
The demand related to his address at the landmark west London building, where a penthouse flat is currently on the market with an asking price of £2.65m.
His full name is Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain, Third Baron Brocket.
Eton-educated Lord Brockett was sentenced to five years imprisonment in 1996 for £4.3m insurance fraud involving four of his vintage cars.
He served as a Lieutenant in the 14th/20th King's Hussars and the former playboy pal of Prince Charles once owned 42 Ferraris amongst his classic car collection.
In 2004 he appeared in 'I'm A Celebrity…….Get Me Out Of Here!' and went on to present several other television programmes.
He inherited eighteenth century Brocket Hall, near Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, which he converted into a hotel and conference venue and leases to a German consortium - Brocket Hall International
The father-of-four was last month stopped by police taking possession of £2m worth of art and antiques, which he claimed belonged to the trustees of the estate.
Eight police cars chased three removal vans along the A1M.
