Sir Sean Connery's son has stepped into the legal dispute between the actor and his neighbour over renovations on their shared building - claiming he owns the New York apartment, and not the former James Bond star.Connery has been involved in a six-year-long legal battle with Dr Burton Sultan, who is unhappy about the work being carried out on the rooftop of the upper east side Manhattan building they share.But Stephane Connery insists the issue has nothing to do with his father - because he owns the pad. Connery Jr tells the New York Daily News, "I would like to make some things clear regarding Dr. Burton Sultan and his fictitious allegations and hunger for publicity that has dragged my father, Sir Sean Connery, into a media circus."Sean Connery has no ownership in my apartment in New York City. He is my guest when he visits and barely spends two weeks there in any given year."
