Harassment

[Hiddentext]

General question if anyone has any ideas. If we have a boundary dispute with a neighbour, and we have done lots of going through the correct channels to sort issues with our neighbours such as local authority, solicitor, boundary surveyor, police, police mediation etc, can this be used by our neighbours with the police to build a case of harassment against us? we have also had a few unfortunate rows with them as well but we try to avoid them altogether to prevent this, but I think they are trying to build a case of harassment.

No one whose opinion you could value would be able to answer your question based on the paucity of information. If it troubles you so much, book an hours consultation with a solicitor. tell them all the details, and then ask their opinion.

There are three sides to every story. What you believe, what they believe and the truth. Only evidence matters.

For example, if you're arguing with them and they documented everything you said to them but they edit what they said and how they said it, but you haven't got this evidence, then their case is much stronger, even if it's fudged to make them look better. If you made complaints about them and you were found to be wrong or unreasonable (ie you erected a fence which was proven to be on their land) then yes, you're looking at a case of harassment against them. It works both ways but evidence is key. CCTV. Keeping a detailed diary etc.

@FeelinFagin yes I keep a very detailed log, as advised by the police about three years ago, and we do have CCTV., we also had to send them a letter through our solicitor to tell them to NOT come on our land, knock on our door, because he was coming around every week to complain/abuse.

Then I'd say you'll be absolutely fine. It's always evidence evidence evidence. It's the only thing that matters in situations like this
