Of course if you go back far enough how did anyone acquire land......just by stealing it.

It is now more difficult than ever to claim adverse possession, as indeed it should be: if it’s not your property, then keep out and show some respect!

Ordinarily, I’d agree. This is council land though. I’d say I was performing a service to my fellow man by weakening them.

I once cut some grass for a neighbour of a empty shop owned by the council as it was getting through his fence and onto his path and looking unsightly the council threatened to sue him  for trespass if he did it again

Slightly different but I know of someone ( a tree surgeon ) who built a house inside a barn and lived in it for several years ( 10 I think )  . Eventually he pulled down the barn from around the house and shazam there was his house he had been living in for 10 years or more .

Just wonder if the council sent him a bill for 10 council tax? Could get him into an interesting argument - to one department "no, I just built it, so owe no tax", to the other "Its been here for years, let ut stay there"

I think the statute of limitations would mean they could only bill for 6 years
