Robert Heffer, 55, clashed with Ashley Faull, 57, in April 2021 in Poole, Dorset. Mr Faull was awarded £357,507 compensation for wasted building costsA shopping channel tycoon has won a bitter £500,000 legal fight against his meat mogul neighbour after nearly coming to blows over who owns the boundary wall.
The row over the boundary wall stalled Mr Faull's building project at a crucial point, he said, forcing him to relocate the works away from the wall and draw up a radical redesign. 'It's our wall. Fact,' Mrs Heffer told her neighbour, before Mr Heffer added that 'they would injunct him and call police if he touched the wall', claimed Mr Faull.
Speaking after the verdict Mr Faull said he was 'relieved', but that the whole process had been 'stressful' and 'expensive', and he wished that he did not have to take the matter to court. 'There was an intention to deceive behind the statement,' said the judge, adding that the couple misled Mr Faull, knowing that he or his company, Waterfall Developments, was intending to begin building on the land.
The row centred on ownership of the wall between the Heffers' building plot at 40 Dorset Lake Avenue, Poole, and his own land next door at number 38. The wall was later demolished, although the building works were completed in line with the redrawn plans to save even more money being wasted. Both Mr Faull and Mr Heffer accused each other of 'bullying' behaviour during the litigation, and in court Mr Faull claimed his neighbour once 'challenged him to a physical fight'.
