💨 Abstract

An 81-year-old pensioner, Christel Naish, lost a costly 7-year legal battle with her neighbor, Dr. Jyotibala Patel, over a few inches of "dead space" between their homes. The dispute started over a garden tap and pipe, escalating into a £280,000 fight. The High Court rejected Naish's appeal, deeming the argument pointless.
