Leah Mirrelson When Chesney Brown was caught shoplifting in The Kabin by Rita Sullivan in January 2004 , she gave him a quick clip round the ear . He then tried to make a quick getaway and banged his head in the attempt . Rapacious mother Cilla Brown saw this as an opportunity to make some money from Rita by claiming compensation for the " injuries " her son had endured following this assault . The first stage was to get Chesney checked in hospital where nothing untoward was found except superficial cuts and bruises but nevertheless the consultation was lodged on record . After phoning Chesney ' s school to tell him that he was being kept off sick due to a " serious assault " , Cilla then took her child to the police station where she reported the matter . Rita was taken in for questioning by PC Worthington while Norris Cole rang her solicitor , Leah Mirrelson to meet her at the station . Before her interview , Leah warned Rita of the rights that children enjoyed these days and to tread carefully but when she stoutly defended her behaviour to Worthington , he referred the case to his Sergeant . He charged Rita with assault causing actual bodily harm on a minor and bailed her to appear at Weatherfield Magistrates Court court in two days time . Rita ' s court case was adjourned for a further hearing in February and in the meantime Leah proceeded with the case , warning her client that the judgement would in all probability not be based on evidence itself but on who the judge believed to be the more credible witness . At the court , she reminded Rita to stay calm at all costs and not allow herself to be riled . Unfortunately Rita forgot this advice when questioned by prosecutor Jordanna James . Leah also considered it not worthwhile to cross - examine Cilla as she said that she was just the type who would stick to her story and repeat comments she had already made . When the judgement was given , Rita was told she had to pay five hundred pounds compensation to Chesney , at which point she lost her temper and told the bench what she thought of them . Norris also shouted his opinion from the gallery at which the two were charged with contempt of court . Leah advised them to both apologise .

Border Television http : / / upload . wikimedia . org / wikipedia / commons / thumb / 7 / 72 / ITV _ Border . svg / 160px - ITV _ Border . svg . png Border Television began transmissions on the ITV network on Friday 1st September 1961 and showed its first episode of " Coronation Street " ( Episode 76 ) four days later . The station ' s territory was a strange amalgamation of South West Scotland , the extreme North West of England and the Isle of Man - all very different communities with a very rural aspect . Precisely ten years after beginning transmissions the station converted to colour television on Wednesday 1st September 1971 with Episode 1109 of " Coronation Street " being one of the programmes being shown in the new medium on that day . In a hangover from the 1975 ITV Strike , the station broadcast Episode 1499 and 1500 on 11th and 12th June respectively whereas the rest of the ITV stations ( except for Scottish Television ) saw them on 9th and 11th June . This was due to a dispute at the station which began on Thursday 5th June when staff received a management letter saying they would not be paid for the former strike period when a national agreement with the ACTT had said otherwise . Staff returned to work on Tuesday 10th June . During the same period there were technical problems in the same region with a burnt - out component affecting viewers in the Solway area who received pictures from the Caldbeck transmitter which consequently was only running on quarter power . The station failed to transmit episodes 1860 , 1861 and 1862 in November 1978 due to a dispute with the ACTT ( Association of Cinematograph Television and Allied Technicians ) union over levels of engineering staff which had led to an overtime ban by the union , although other sources state that dispute was over the number of commercials to be transmitted . Whatever the cause , forty engineers were locked out by management from 12 . 55pm on Sunday 12th November 1978 however some enterprising members broke into the premises in Carlisle and staged a sit - in . The dispute continued until Tuesday 21st November when management and union started talks . Although Border made efforts to stage showings of the missed instalments of " Edward and Mrs Simpson " and " Lillie " , both major drama serials at the time , they seem to have made no effort to show the missed instalments of serials such as " Coronation Street " . The company was bought out by Granada Television in 2001 and merged with Tyne Tees Television on Wednesday 25th February 2009 to become ITV Tyne Tees & Border .
