Hi
I'm just after buying a new house, my neighbour who is a farmer has called over and told me that our fence in broken in places and that their cattle could enter our property through these breaks, they have explained that they have electric fences constructed but if the cattle break through, it would be our responsibility if they caused any damage.
I was just wondering if anyone knew whats the legal situation is in regards to this. Should it not be the responsibility of the cattle owner to ensure his cattle cannot break out. Or is it my responsibility to ensure my property is secure at all times ?
Thanks
