NEW DELHI: A UK court has rejected all defence claims of Vijay Mallya for repossession order of his house in central London . The court has fixed May 2019 for the final hearing of the case.

On Wednesday, the embattled liquor tycoon faced a setback in his battle to save his posh London home from foreclosure by Swiss bank UBS .

The bank has sought repossession of the property at Cornwall Terrace, overlooking Regent's Park in central London, over the non-payment of a 20.4-million pounds mortgage loan.

The property was referred to in the UK High Court as a "high class home for Dr Vijay Mallya and his family members and United Breweries Group corporate guests".
