Lawyer faces £50k legal bill over 2ft strip of land after judge rules neighbour was right to cut hedge on ‘her property’

A LAWYER faces a £50,000 bill after losing a court battle sparked when her neighbour’s gardener “hacked” at the “lovely thick” hedge dividing their multi-million pound homes.

But the record label boss insisted he owned the 2ft "walkway" between the bottom of his tennis court and the hedge and he was perfectly entitled to trim it when the laurel grew over the boundary. Mr Hartley, director of independent record label group PIAS and a former chief operating officer of the Official UK Chart Company, moved into the £1.9m house with his wife 2007.

He said he had always been able to walk around the bottom of the tennis court to maintain the hedge, and in 2017 enlisted a professional gardener to cut it back.
