Council Serves Second Eviction Notice to 'Kingdom of Kubala' After Move Onto Its Land

The council has opened fresh court proceedings to clear the three-person camp from its land on public-safety grounds.

Overview

  • Officials delivered letters on Thursday informing the group they must appear in court as the council seeks an interdict and eviction from the new site.
  • Sheriff officers enforced an immediate eviction on Tuesday at the original privately owned woodland, after which the camp was shifted roughly 20 to 30 yards over a fence onto council property.
  • Scottish Borders Council says partners have repeatedly tried to engage with the group and will continue lawful steps to resolve the situation.
  • Costs from the first eviction were awarded against the occupiers in favor of the private landowner who brought the initial case.
  • The trio remains publicly defiant, rejecting court authority as fencing goes up around the relocated camp and visitors and online donations continue.
