Overview

• Bournemouth County Court set a three‑month deadline for Jenny Field, 76, to pay her neighbour Pauline Clark or face the forced sale of her £420,000 home.
• Field did not attend the hearing, and the judge added a further £7,454 in costs to the total owed.
• The dispute began in 2020 over the position of a party fence, with a 2022 ruling awarding Clark £11,800 in damages plus £2,120 in costs.
• Repeated attempts by Field to relitigate led to a civil restraint order for excessive filings, and a judge said her fraud allegations were totally without merit.
• Clark’s lawyer said an order for sale was a last resort, while Field said she will put the property on the market to raise the funds.
