In a judgment published on Wednesday, a district judge awarded a total of $3,380 in damages to the plaintiffs. Judge Toh also awarded $500 for the “minor” acts of trespass relating to the post: for digging the hole, which was later filled up with concrete, and for inserting a small bolt into the concrete kerb between the two houses.
