Mischievous neighbours
20-Sep-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi, I park my car on the same place for last 25yrs, and now my neighbour has bought a new second hand car and he is parking his car on my parking place forcefully... When we talk to him about this he always ignores and call police and threaten us.police is also doing partiality with us. What should we do now?
What The Law Says
As long as your vehicle is taxed and you are not contravening any other traffic laws, you are allowed to park anywhere on a public highway (but not on footpaths/pavements) where it is legal to do so.
Parking Outside Your Own House
Etiquette, good manners and common sense are the main ingredients in avoiding parking disputes with your neighbours. Most people would choose to park outside their own home anyway because of the convenience, but what if you have more than one vehicle belonging to a single property and there are no driveways or you have a driveway but there is only enough room for one car?
No Automatic Right to Park Outside Your Home
Basically, it’s an unwritten ‘rule’ that people will generally tend to park outside their own home but it’s important to note that no one has an automatic right to do so. It’s not always possible and, in addition to residents, other road users also have the right to park outside your home providing they are not contravening the Highway Code.

You can go ahead and avail civil and criminal remedies..if the parking lot is assigned to you .Therefore before any step is taken its good to ensure that the parking lot is allocated to whom or its attached to your house.Therefore after this clarity we can move to court in both ways.
