Overview

• Sheriff Peter Paterson granted an immediate extraction at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, ordering the three campers off woodland owned by Mary and David Palmer.
• The trio — Kofi Offeh, Jean Gasho and Kaura Taylor — did not attend the hearing and had no legal representation.
• Landowners sought removal on the basis of no right to title after an eviction deadline of 5pm on 8 September was ignored.
• Offeh and Gasho dismissed the ruling in recorded comments and the group remained at the camp, which continues to draw visitors and donations via TikTok.
• Local officials urged the public not to engage, and court officers with police support are understood to be ready to enforce the order.
