Removing an electrical cable on customers property... that doesn't belong to the customer!

Need to check the deeds, the gate may not be allowed but if its been there X amount years she's stuffed, digging up someones drive is not on as well as jacking up and moving her car, I would have thought that its criminal damage that the Police can deal with as then it changes form a civil matter to a criminal matter.

If the neighbours have no access rights over and under her drive she should inform the people who installed the cable to remove it and at the same time "invoice" the neighbours for the use of her land to hold their cable, issue an invoice monthly when they don't pay small claims court.

To run any supply on someone else's land needs a wayleave to be in operation, if this is not present then digging up and laying the cable is a criminal act, I had a similar incident with the SELB when they erected power pylons on my land without permission, unfortunately they have more power than I, in court I was only allowed to apply for compensation and rental, not to insist they where taken down, a wayleave was put in place and is written into my land registry documentation.

As I said, tap in to the cable and start a cannabis farm...........
