Reply to: Daughter's kids

I threatened him and have not had any real probs for a long time, unless you count a few clippings flung over. No legal action you can sensibly take over trivia like that unfortunately. Fortunately I have rather more dosh than he has.

The other neighbours he invaded got their land back so he is not fannying around ruining the woods behind our garden anymore.

I suggest you need a bit more detail if you expect a serious reply.

My No 1 site when I was doing a selfbuild a while back, hence 'Rootsnall'. For those who like to wind people up you can have great time by posting that you are about to illegally chop down a load of protected hundred year old Oak trees !

Ahh!

Thank you Pondlife for the clarification.

Sadly, I don't have time to read every thread on this board.

The fact that you used a lame winky smilie at the end of your post leads me to believe that you are baiting some of the more hopeless idiots on the forum.

My daughter's kids playing on the neighbour's fence and cut themselves. The kids now have minor medical problems. Can anyone give advice etc.

Well I could give first aid to your 'Daughter's Kids' (odd way of putting it), but by the phrasing of your question, I assume you mean legal advice of the 'no win, no fee' variety - yes?

Unsupervised kids get into bother. I did. My siblings and cohorts did. That's life mate - don't try to profit from it. The main thing is your Grandchildren (for that is the correct terminology) have only minor ailments.

I guess if the fence is in some way illegal - eg. it is too tall, has razor wire or glass embedded in it, then I guess it would be possible to go to court with an ambulance-chaser in tow and claim some compensation. It might be difficult to get anywhere with a defective fence unless you had evidence it was poorly maintained or defective before they played on it. And even then it would be obvious they shouldn't have played on it.

In any case, I doubt they were supervised and unless the fence was an underlying cause of the accident (eg. it fell on them while playing football), the fact they seemed to be playing 'on it' would definitely count against them. Fences aren't fit for purpose for play. Eg. A perfectly functional fence can be as crude as a run of stakes with a bit of wire between, so the danger is obvious and avoidable.

...in my humble opinion.

What are the minor medical problems - other than the obvious cut hands, legs etc ?

[EternalOptimist]

Your daughters kids. They would be you grandchildren then.

I'd beat them to within an inch of the lives for playing on other peoples property then I go'd and slap your mother for giving birth to such a person who asks stupid questions.

Tell them to leave other people's property alone!
