What happened
Karen Imber sued Thames Water following sewage floods that struck her home in Woodford Green between 2006 and 2014. After receiving a £225,000 payout in 2023, a judge ruled that Imber must repay the amount. This ruling came after Thames Water discovered that Imber had sold the property for £780,000 a month before she agreed to the second compensation payment.
