When idiots meet.

Amusing to see that strag seemingly being pro legal aid today.

ETA- it’s purely his own fault.

I don't get why the Mail is painting it as if he's been hard done by.

Reads to me like he damaged his neighbours property and was abusive to them and ended up being jailed for contempt of court.

He doesn't sound like a very pleasant man.

'Because I'm a stocky, bald headed bloke, I get misjudged. I do get angry but that is because I'm frustrated with the situation.'

I suspect it's much more than being stocky and bald fella.

And went straight to that fine, upstanding bastion of honesty, fairness and journalistic integrity that is the Daily Mail.

Probably with a level 10 compoface... Soz, I haven't clicked the link.

It's a very neurotic paper isn't it.

One minute they want stronger sentences for antisocial behaviour but then complain when it happens.

I've acted as an expert witness in numerous land and boundary disputes and this does not come as a surprise at all. The level of vitriol and hatred that comes out in this type of dispute is something to behold and as the expert you are often the lightning rod, which is why I stopped doing them some time ago.

One thing I observed in my time doing them, other than at least one of the parties usually being retired from a previously high status professional role, is the boundary is very often a proxy for an entirely separate 'issue' between the parties

That's not what 'neurotic' means.

But The Mail certainly has a less appealing side.

Ridiculous that the judge has let it go this far.

The guy is a carer for his disabled son full time and just wanted to replace a fallen down boundary line.I would have told him to do it he clearly has enough stress to deal with without difficult neighbours.

Sometimes in life you have to be the bigger person for the sake of others involved it is a shame the judge hasn’t the life experience to see that.

Hope he wins his appeal as it would appear the judge is out of their depth on this one.

He wasn't gaoled for a boundary dispute? There ought to be a separate subforum for posts about Daily Mail blah.

I know very little about anything to do with the law. And less than nothing about boundary dispute law.

But if my neighbour wanted to build their wall and take some of my garden - and the judge allowed it because my neighbour had more on his plate. I'd be fuming.

I have my suspicions there is more to this story. And the judge is more qualified than you or I in these matters.

The article says it was his neighbours fence that encroached on his land and the title deeds show this.

How much land could you possibly lose with a wall vs a fence. Mental.

A wall, if done nicely, would be so nicer than fencing anyway. What were they thinking?!

Agreed. Mail readers will love it, though. An Englishman's home is his castle, after all biggrin
