An estate agency has been ordered by the High Court to hand over emails relating to a legal dispute between the billionaire Candy brothers and a former business associate. In what is likely to prove an embarrassing legal order for a company that prides itself on client discretion, Savills will be required to submit emails from three of its directors containing references to the dispute. The court order comes after a request for disclosure of the emails from Mark Holyoake, a businessman who plans to take legal action against Savills, seeking compensation for alleged misconduct, including breach of confidentiality. Mr Holyoake is claiming £132 million from the Candy brothers over a £12 million loan he took from Christian Candy’s company CPC in 2011 to fund
