Dozens of cedar shrubs were cut down.
VANCOUVER — A Surrey homeowner who cut down and destroyed dozens of cedar shrubs on a neighbour’s property has been ordered by a B.C. court to pay her neighbours almost $150,000 in damages plus thousands more in court costs.
The court was shown photos and video of Khatkar climbing the fence between the two properties while wielding a chainsaw between July and December 2021 when she trespassed. The damages totalled about $148,500, and the judge also ruled Khatkar was responsible for the other party’s court costs and issued an injunction banning her from ever again entering the neighbour’s property.
Over the six months in 2021, Khatkar trespassed on the plaintiff’s property and cut off up to 3.3 metres of 75 4.5-metre-tall mature cedar trees on the property line between the two properties, ultimately causing the cedar hedge to be destroyed, Francis wrote.
