A neighbour went over to demand that the workers stop work, resulting in a confrontation that involved the police being called.
The owners of two neighbouring landed houses in Bedok lived in peace for more than a decade – until renovation work on one unit resulted in a dispute that ended up in court.They took issue with their neighbours for removing a brick pillar that left a gap in the rear boundary wall of their property, and for installing a fence post which required digging a hole that crossed into their land.
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.
On Nov 11, 2019, the pillar was removed by the defendants’ contractors, leaving a gap between the mesh fence and the concrete wall.
