This case involved a request for compensation against a neighbour who had built a wall. Although the wall was not on the neighbour's property it had been built on the street and prevented the neighbour from using the street as they had before.
Background
A claimant filed a case against his neighbour and the chief of the local council requesting the neighbour demolish a wall they had built in the street and pay fees for the urgent case previously filed against them.
The court refused to consider the case against the second defendant.
The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
