The 40,000 pound battle of the wheelie bins: Homeowner slapped with massive legal bill after row with neighbour ends up in court | Mail Online

"When Liaquat Ali’s next door neighbour complained that his wheelie bin was blocking the narrow alleyway between their homes, he agreed to move it.But its new position at a wider point of the shared access route prompted a solicitor’s letter stating it was still causing problems. The dispute developed into a bitter feud between Mr Ali, 47, and neighbour Iqbal Suleman, which ended in a court ruling that neither homeowner could keep a bin there. But they still ‘refuse’ to see eye-to-eye after Mr Ali was ordered to pay both of their legal bills, totalling almost £40,000."

It is amazing to see how many neighbor disputes over minor issues end up costing people a fortune.
