In a bid to inherit more of the fortune made by their father Alan claimed it had been hidden offshore to evade tax.
His sister Carolyn, who is a children’s rights lawyer and Unicef adviser who lives in north London, told the court: “To rip apart a family for this sake is incredibly sad.
“[My father] did not believe Jews could ever be really safe and, with money in a neutral country he could access, he would be able to save his family, if necessary.”
Mr Justice Henderson ruled Alan, who lives in the United States, would keep his share of £1 million of the fund while his sister will retain about £2.2 million.
