boubry fence disputes

[proper01]

is there a standard/law to say which boubry fence in your garden you are resposible for (left hand side or right hand side).

[dzug]

There is no standard - it varies. And 'responsible for' is a bit of a misnomer. If it is your fence you can remove it altogether if you wish - in most cases you don't 'have to' repair it.

Nearest you'll get to a standard is that he who wants the fence most pays

is there a standard/answer in AB to the perpetual question

is there a standard/law to say which boundary fence in your garden you are responsible for (left hand side or right hand side).

[Ethel]

You need to look at your deeds, which will clearly show who owns what (hopefully).

There should be T markings along the boundary. The top of the T lies along the boundary and the bottom of the T lies on the side of the owner of the boundary.

The only responsibility is to ensure it is safe. That can include totally removing the boundary fence/wall/hedge.
