the law on headges

[Gary Prentice]

Perhaps I have phrased this poorly

 

The reason I emphasised the quoted text is that there is no unwritten law as stated.

 

I had thoughts about a neighbour knocking on the owners door to demand that they come round to cut the overhanging foliage, "cos a bloke on the internet said you have to!":biggrin:

I had an even stranger thought about the hedge owner going out and giving the 'headge' a good talking to, ordering it (King Canute style) not to grow into his neighbour's garden.

Fair do's. But I suppose that fundamentally the common law is unwritten, and case law is only written statements of its interpretation in particular disputed circumstances.

Well put.
