It's amazing how with almost every thing else you do, you have the opportunity to check it out beforehand....even before you get married, you can work out if you could live with you MIL.

When it come to neighbours, there is virtually nothing you can do to understand what type of neighbours you are going to have until you move in.....

Theo, you are an honest smart guy...keep the emotion out of it and you will come out the 'right' side.

Can't help you with the legalities of the fence mate but I feel for you having a neighbour dispute, I've been there and it's not a nice situation to be in. My neighbours had mental health issues which made it very difficult.

And no doubt their neighbours also had mental health issues.
I had similar disputes with a neighbour, the bastard would get verbal with me make all physical threats never followed through but turned his anger on his wife, poor girl always hiding her bruises.
once a year he would get some one in to give his garden a good clean up and he would keep onto it for about 4 weeks then lose interest. Well it was about this time I sold my house and his garden was looking really tidy so the last thing i packed was the round up as i needed it to let any one that drives by that a wife basher lives in the house it was displayed on his manicured lawn.

That's Nilumbik for you. You can't fart in Nilumbik without a permit.

Had a 'Nillumbik' win today. Took a trailer load to the tip and was expecting to be screwed but the dude charged me half price as he was in a good mood and there was nobody else around

How big is your block? If it is 800 sq.m or less he is only allowed to keep two dogs unless he has written permission from the council - suggest to him that if he doesn't play ball you will report him to the council.

3000m2 he is allowed 3 dogs but with council permission.

Brian - only update is that the brief of evidence is complete all 22 pages or so of it including 10 exhibits and a 5 page statement of facts. now to get 4 copies and fill out the form to lodge go to the court pay $114.00 and wait till the stamped copies are returned to me to serve the neighbours.

Saw them today and they had smug look on their faces after I had put the fence back, I gave a dejected look and did not hold his stare ....so I think I have sucked him into thinking he won

Hang in there mate,even if you only break even, they will have had to fork out money along the line. I used to get some people that thought that if the bill was only a couple of hundred dollars it would cost me more to chase it than it was worth, baaaaad idea, very simple principle, you do the work, you get paid

Just dot all the i's and cross the t's very carefully and you'll have a win, might be small, but a win

Thanks mate

I think i needed to do something or i would just stew about it.

If we loose in court at least I'll know I tried and i can't have anything ruled against me anyway so $114 is the extent of my further loss if it goes belly up. and they will have to fill out paperwork take a day off work each , stress about the outcome ect.

My position can,t get any worse only better....theirs can get worse not better.

PS -I 'll ask the judge if he likes Nissan or Toyota

who am i kidding he prob drives a 7 series bmw

I think the above may just be a wise investment in general I think.

Fathom · « **Reply #68 on:** October 18, 2013, 06:31:57 AM »

Geesh.. That sounds almost the same as we have going in here...
Speaking from experience.., if the neighbours dog /dogs die on YOUR property... And your animals are adequately "fenced in" then there is little the neighbours can do... The onus is on them to keep their animals contained...
Although I did come home last night to a branch from their tree thrown over my fence today.. Which I politely returned...just in case they have misplaced it...
We too are considering the CCTV option.. Will need 4ish cameras to see the whole fence...
Either way.. Hope it works out for you...
As my wife keeps telling me... Don't do anything that will land you on the wrong side of the law...

And yes I know.. Easy to say... Harder to not let emotion rule...

Stay tuned swaggers ... about to go serve the documents..that should upset the weekend

.

Now they can spend all weekend sifting through paperwork and filling out court documents.

$.20 says they either
- punch you
- throw papers back at you
- burn papers
- ignore papers

Get the cops to come with you when you serve them

Bloody pouring with rain here right now will have to wait i think as I will dropping papers on porch doorstep so will wait till it stops raining.

Cops have better things to do than serve papers I reckon, I phone will tell the story after the fact if it needs to be told.

But in all honesty they will just shrug anyway. I don't anticipate any issues.

Rain is welcome though
