Hoteliers win land dispute
20 July 2000
The owners of a manor house hotel have won a seven-year boundary dispute with neighbours after appeal court judges ruled in their favour.
David and Anne Johnson, who own the Hartforth Hall in North Yorkshire, pursued the dispute for just a fraction of an acre, vital because it gave tourist coaches access to their hotel. Three court judges ruled that the boundary between the two properties lay along the line of a fence put up by the hoteliers in 1997.
