Was it worth it? Couple ordered to pay £150,000 legal fees after losing legal battle over garden wall | Mail Online
A couple have been hit with a £150,000 legal bill after a 10-year battle with neighbours over a garden wall.
Godfrey and Sandra Stanley, from Mistley, near Manningtree, in Essex, sued their neighbours for £24,500 compensation after their 150-year-old garden wall collapsed during a storm in October, 2001.
The couple claimed Roy and Shirley Rawlinson had done work to the wall which had undermined its structure and caused it to crumble during the storm.

Wow. That seems a bit harsh really.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like they were just being a bit too petty in the end. I mean, it clearly wasn't all about money, it gradually changed to pride.
My guess is that they wont be neighbours much longer(if they haven't already moved!)
In fact, with a bill that size, i wouldnt be surpirsed if they just get kicked out.
