[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 2998586, member: 699"] It is the householders responsibility to have a gate or a way of preventing livestock from going into their property if they are being driven along the highway. Several years ago we were taking 300 sheep along a country lane and one very smart house had a gate but no side fences so the sheep all decided to go into the newly landscaped garden. Sods law it belonged to a Barrister who was going to sue us for all the damage. When we pointed out that we had shut the gates of his property but it was not stock proof and that was all we could do, he still insisted that we would be liable. So rather than get into any argument I passed it on to the NFU and their legal people pointed out a bit of old law about livestock being driven along the highway having a right of passage and it is property owners obligation to have a stock proof boundary. He had to climb down and admit he was in the wrong. Not the same of course if they get out!! [/QUOTE]
