Neighbours go to High Court over hedge row

Neighbours have gone all the way to the High Court in a row over a boundary hedge and laneway.

The typical hedgerow has lined a small Wicklow lane for around a century, but is now the subject of a legal row that has already been thrashed out in the Circuit Court.

High Court President Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns, before the case started yesterday, urged both sides to take “an eleventh hour opportunity ” to resolve the case and put their differences aside.
