Our neighbour is unhappy about the height of our trees which cast shade on some of his garden. We planted mature trees that are now about 3 metres tall but don't overhang his side at all. Without the trees, he can look into our garden and into our house.
He's not the sort to go through the legal process (District Court) to get the trees trimmed so what's the likely criminal charge (if any) if he decides to jump the fence and lop them off himself? It would be useful to have something to mention to him before he does anything. We do have security cameras aimed at the boundary and we will go to the Disputes Tribunal if he kills them (they cost a bit).
No posts encouraging me to be a good neighbour, please. If you lived next door to this guy, you'd be planting big trees too.
