       His test case, which would have recast the laws on parents’ responsibilities to their adult children, was thrown out by the Court of Appeal.

       Lord Justice Underhill ruled: “Parents should be under no legal duty to support their adult children, however grave their need.”

       Oxford-educated Mr Siddiqui, a qualified solicitor, has not worked since 2011.

       He lived rent-free for years in a ￡1million flat near Hyde Park, London, owned by his parents, Rakshanda, 69, and Javed, 71.

       But they reduced support after a fall-out.
